I see that the upside down sticker was not a mistake. I rotated my pic to make it easier to read.

In the chart, I also make note that they have a 'LD' frame for a supercrew 4x4, length, notwithstanding. I wonder under what circumstance that would be? Engine size then?

2.7 is my understanding. I rotated mine as well.

Another thing I notice is the frame ratings are judged by thickness [obviously] but, the difference between a HD and HPP is negligible IMO, .10 for HD vs. .11 for HPP. That like the thickness of a hair. What the H does HPP stand for anyways? By the way, your Platinum has more 'stuff' on it so maybe that's the reason for your rating.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Are you saying that there is a 145" HPP frame?

Yeah, that pic rather conveniently obscures the WB numbers, doesn't it.

Same as acdii here. Part of the reason I bought my truck is it has the heaviest frame option. I have given up on trying to figure out when you get the HPP frame, but I can tell you that my MaxTow Screw FX4 3.5EB truck has the heaviest frame.

Get the Max tow. As others have said, no one ever regretted the nicer package. Also remember the ease of resale at a later time.

You must have a "long" bed as "short" beds get HD frames from what I found out at order time. (Also lower payload and towing capacity)
