Gotta realize that the further you go up the "luxury ladder" and stack on the options--especially heavy ones like moonroof--the lower your payload will be. I've got an '18 XL SCab 4x4 with the 3.5 EB, 101A pkg plus Max Tow pkg and the payload is just under 2000#.
You can get a truck to tow or you can have your luxury grocery getter, but you'll have to step up to the SD to tow heavy.

When most equipment is figured in on this truck with the mileage the dealer gave the previous owner a trade value of $15k - $17.5K. There is definitely room for negotiation. I would not offer them anymore than $19K with limited service records and the videos below.
Please see the following video on the 2011 - 2015 F150 EcoBoost. Check out YouTube Channel FordTechMakuloco who is a Ford Certified Mechanic. His knowledge / repair videos are excellent.

I saw a lot of incorrect HDPP ads back when I was shopping. Dealers even sometimes call the 2.7 payload package a HDPP. Your best option is to always have a salesperson text you a pic of the payload sticker...saves you a lot of time. If new enough that you can get an image of the window sticker, it will tell you as well. I wonder how many owners incorrectly assume that they have bought a HDPP truck from dishonest dealers.

Well, I bought it for 22,8 out the door. They wouldn't go any lower. It's in such perfect shape tho I'm happy. A little peeved it doesnt have the hdpp but I'll live lol. Excited to join your ranks. The truck I've been driving is a 03 6.0 with 465k on it so quite an upgrade. Are there any stickies I should read? Like the weephole in the intercooler, for example. They put a new intercooler in it and replaced the spark plugs again and that fixed it perfectly for now. The gaps were off by a couple thousandths on a couple. Edit. Truck prices are high still in tx cause of Harvey
