Default 7200 LB payload package

I just bought this used 2005 F150 supercab 4x4. I was wondering what the 7200 lb payload package is. I have the original window sticker, it is an option. Thanks guys...

im guessing u have the towing package, the most ive had in my bed was 5,000 pounds and that dropped the backend quite a bit. i think 5,000 pounds would be cake for u

If you put 5000 pounds in the bed of your truck you are crazy. It is a HALF TON truck. 7200 is what it should be able to tow. And when you get that much weight back there a 5.4 doesn't have the guits to handle it very well.

That is the GVWR of the truck. Same as mine. It gives me around 1400 lbs. of payload left after all of my accessories.
