I found this?

That would be for a stripped down reg cab long box with the heavy duty payload package. Notice it says "when properly equipped." Yours is equipped for a 1500 lb payload rating.

The 3100lb rating can only be had with a regular cab long bed truck.

Considering how much these trucks weigh to begin with, I think it's fairly impressive that they can still be loaded with 1500 lbs or more! My '13 XLT SCab 2WD is rated for just over 1800 lbs; think about how much extra cab weight your SCrew has, and if you have 4WD, that's another couple hundred pounds. Every pound of equipment reduces the payload capacity.

I know certain F-150 configurations are only rated for payload in the 1000-1200 lb. range...THAT would be pretty brutal to deal with when trying to haul anything of significance!

As others have referenced, a F-150 with a rated payload of 3100 lbs has to be VERY rare, as I can't imagine many stripped down XLs (regular cab, 2WD, long bed) were ordered with max payload package. Maybe some commercial buyers, but very few (if any) retail. Everyone wants space and amenities!

Another heads up. The 11,300 tow rating doesn't apply to your truck.

I don't know any 150, 1500 that could handle 3000 lbs in the bed. The aren't designed to carry that much weight in the bed. You need a 250 or 350 I would think.

That I knew, I found out after there were all there's package add ons, max tow etc, oh well live and learn, now I know and In 4 yrs I'll get the fx4 or similar model outfitted the way I want

Your opinion was voided with me when I read that you have an ecoboost and "miss the 350 v8 power from your 98 gmc. " unless it was built up with aftermarket goodies, I don't see how it would even scratch the surface of being as powerful as our 5.0, much less as torquey as the ecoboost.

Lol. Yea I've driven tons of old 350s. They didn't have much power stock in comparison to today. But they sure were reliable.

One thing not mentioned is using a cargo flatbed trailer. Plenty of single axle trailers out there with a 3500# single axle. That way you dont destroy your truck during the lease and you can always keep the trailer for the next truck. Most times it's better to drag the load rather than haul it.
