Default Ecoboost Lariat Screw max tow owners - Payload Question

I ordered a 2013 Lariat Screw ecoboost w/ max tow, 501a package w/ nav, and 6.5 bed

I was hoping anyone with a similar rig could post their Max Payload

My dealer doesn't have a clue and I found an updated chart here but I don't know the base curb weight or if I am selecting everything correctly. I still have time to upgrade to the HD payload but would prefer a more comfortable ride as I only tow 5-6 times a year. I am hoping that it is right around 1700.

Thanks

Here is where I looked, before I ordered mine:
http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/brochures/
select the "Towing Guide"
or:
http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/specifications/towing/

If you can see your window sticker yet, it will tell you which diff you have.

Thanks, I've already looked there. That just shows the maximum possible, it doesn't take into account any options. i.e. the moonroof (which I did not get)reduces it by 44 lbs

I have a 2013 Eco-Boost F150 Lariat SCrew 4x4 157" WB, 3.73/Max Tow & HD Payload Pkg. No Roof or Nav. I have Leather Bucket seats Heat/cool w/flow thru console, spray in factory liner, and wheel well liners.

I don't think the HD pkg. makes the truck ride rough. Firm yes, and comfortable.

Here is a pic of my door sticker...

I'm guessing with your options, you'll be in that 1550-1600 range maybe a little more compared to mine at 1700.

My truck is the same except it has 502A instead of 501A

The max payload per the door sticker is 1561lbs.

I also have box side steps, which I'm sure weigh like 100lbs between the two of them.

I didn't mean rough necessarily, I currently have a '97 F250HD Crew w/ 460, now that rides rough I'm essentially giving up a loaded '09 Honda Pilot and the F250 for this new F150. I need to maintain the comfort and mileage of the Pilot and a lot of the towing power of the F250.

Those steps are 65lbs and the moonroof another 44lbs, so without those I should be pushing closer to 1700. My dealer came up with a curb weight of 5,906 for my setup, I'm just not sure how accurate it is. (But then again, he suggested I install air bags to add capacity)

Why the frig is my payload so low on an XLT. Is it the shorter bed?? FX4's have more payload and I don't have all those options, lol.
