I will be ordering a 2012 F150 with the HD payload package probably as soon as the "build your own" comes online.
Question for you guys: Is there any way to find out the final (real) payload based on the options chosen? It would be nice to know before placing the order. The dealer is clueless.

Thanks a lot!

 

Based on some options (cab style, 4x4, engine, etc), Ford has listed on their website what the payload is. A 4x2 regular cab with the heavy duty payload package is rated for over 3k for both the EB and 5.0, for example

 

Thanks, yeah I saw that. I meant the more exact number. When looking at trucks with options, the final payload can be 100-200 lbs below that number on the website.
