payload
A little concerned because I saw a loaded 5.5' bed Platinum at the Silicon Valley Car Show today that had a payload only in the high 1300's. Sorry, could only get a glance because of the crowds but was definitely under 1400#. There was an XLT and Lariat, both were in the mid-higher 1500's I believe. All 4x4s.
I have a 3.5EB loaded FX4 Plat with 3.55 and mine is 1463lbs. I added every single option you could that wasnt late avail.
I've apparently ordered the same as you except for trailer mirrors and Max. tow. Do you also have the factory bedliner?

In all honestly, a little over weight here or there for a few miles isn't too big of a deal. I have seen instances where the vehicle is a danger to everyone on the road, though..
I'm hoping a Lariat 501a screw, 5.0, 3.73, 4x4 with no moonroof or other extras will net about 1700# payload. Hey, I can be optimistic.

Kind of like those people hauling 300-500 gallons of water in the bed of their Ford Rangers?
