Hi, mine has a decent 1745 lbs. payload. When I was buying it, I showed the salesman the one on the show room floor only had 1065 lbs. payload. Five average sized men would max it out with nothing in the bed.

Learned something and pleasantly surprised.

I always assumed that trucks with more options, bigger engines, larger cabs, etc, had suspension adjustments to compensate for the extra weight.

By choice, I've always driven regular cab, 6 cylinder, pretty basic pickups with just a few options. I've always considered my pickup to be light weight/light duty.

Well, the payload of my 2012, reg cab, 3.7V6, is 1723lbs.

Now, I do realize that there are tow options and payload options to increase this number,

but still good to know that my light weight truck can hold almost a ton of payload, even if the engine can't move it.

Seems this thread is morphing into "who has the highest payload".
Mine won't win a prize at either end but 1742 for S-Cab isn't bad...

Is it a 145" or 157"? All 157" have the thicker HD Payload frame so its several hundred lbs heavier. I am also a fully loaded Lariat with 36 gallon tank, wheel well liners, 20" wheels and factory spray in bed liner

Trucks with factory 22s have the lowest payload.

There is no tow options that increase payload anymore. Max tow package increased the GVWR(and therefore payload) on the 2014 and earlier trucks. On the newer trucks the GVWR remains the same. The only way to increase payload now is either the 2.7 Payload package or the heavy duty payload package.

Additionally, the lower trim/lower tier engine regular cab trucks usually have a lower GVWR, so they wont inherently have a higher/lower payload than a supercrew. For example, a 2x4 3.3L regular cab has a GVWR of 6170 and a max payload of 1950 lbs. A supercrew 4x4 with the 3.5 Ecoboost has a 7050 lb GVWR and a max payload of 2030 lbs. So if you had compared your truck to a similarly optioned supercrew of the same year, you might find that the payloads are pretty close to the same. I honestly think they do this because they dont want you having a regular old F150 with nearly 3000 lbs of payload because then no one would buy 250's.

You really need to read that charts on the Ford website to determine what configuration will maximize the payload.

This one probably has the lowest payload!

Yeah seriously. Ive always wondered these guys with raptors running 37" tires and front/rear steel bumpers must have like 3 lbs of payload left over.
