Default Ford VIN Specific Calculator for Payload/Tow Ratings
This is great! No more looking at door jamb stickers! Plug in the vin (or just last 8) of any 2018+ F-series truck and get the payload rating, towing capacity, GVWR, GCWR etc.:

There is also a "Needs Assessment Calculator" but I'm finding it is inaccurate or just flat out wrong.

Even gives the "axel" ratio...

Good for illustrating over payload too. Goes to zero but not negative and no warning. Who created this?

This is outstanding! Thanks, Matt!

Looks like it takes a “Produced” status to show up. If you’re still waiting to be built, won’t work just yet.
