OK don't believe it. I'm just telling you what the scale said and my weight ticket says. I will try and find it for you OK buddy!

According to Fords website a 2013 Lariat equipped like yours can tow 9500# and carry 1870# payload

basically have same truck as a 2013, only major difference is 5.4 that is not all aluminum. do not see how your truck could weigh 6400 lbs. what does your sticker say your GVWR, usually around 1700 payload. your GVWR would read about 8100 lbs.

The 7100# is the truck's GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). Subtracting the truck's gross weight from the GVWR gives you the payload capacity(what you can carry on the truck). Something to note, you can't place that much load anywhere on the vehicle, you should stay within the GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating). You'll find that on the door sticker as well. My truck has a GVWR(7650) - gross weight (5760) = 1890 lbs. That's misleading because my truck's rear GAWR(4050) - axle weight (2500) = 1550. That's how much I can really carry on the rear axle.

To find how much you can tow, you have to get the GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating). Ford lists this rating in the brochure. Subtracting the gross weight of the truck from the GCWR gives you the towing capacity of the truck. In my case the GCWR(17100) - gross weight (5760) = 11340 lbs. That's how much I can tow without exceeding limits.

I understand what you are saying about the "deception" of the stickers on the door, but have you thought about the passengers in the vehicle as well? What's the average male weight? 160-200? What about females? (Yeah I'm not going to guess that weight. lol) Or kids? Or any gear you keep in the vehicle with you. Being military, I've had to ship equipment to different sites for training/repair. I never knew how specific all of this was until then.....or how misleading the stickers can be like you described. Nobody ever seems to think about the passenger cabin for their weights. Or the Axle rating for that matter unless they have been made aware (like by a ticket from a KS Hwy Patrol for overloading an axle lol). Good information though.

I've thought of those scenarios, that was the reason I weighed the truck. Now I have a good idea how many people and how much cargo I can carry. If I'm going to heavily load the truck, I'd weigh it again.

Ford states right in the manual that fuel does NOT need to be subtracted from payload.

Guys, take the max cargo capacity off your tire load sticker and subtract it from your GVWR (found on the other sticker in your door jam). You'll get the weight of your truck as completed at the factory complete w/ a tank of gas.

What he said. Mine weighed 5680 with me and a full tank of fuel. If I subtract me, that leaves it at 5460. If I do the math using the GVW and the Payload sticker I get 7100-1658=5442. Seems close enough to me.
