Default Funny Payload Observation

One of our guys at work has a 2019 Screw fleet package XL truck. Vinyl floor, no factory console, a true fleet truck. 3.5L Eco, 4x4 (non-FX4), 5.5' bed. From the factory his payload is 1818. I have a '20 XLT 302A with a few other options added on, similar specs as his. My payload is 1866. Just found it funny and odd mine has a bit higher payload than his, even with a higher trim and package level.

Carry on.

I don’t know his truck. I’d have to look at mine. I forget off hand.

I believe the lightest trim is an XL 101A with Chrome Package (Fog lights are 3 lb lighter than the knockouts and the aluminum wheels are 19 lb lighter while the power package gains 0, the few other additions gain maybe10 lb).

If yours just has the standard tank and hitch and his is a Max Tow that's roughly 78 lb (It's 97 lb from 23.0 gal + 53B to Max Tow).

If yours has an 8.8 vs his 9.75 Axle that's 40 lb as well. Wasn't clear if yours was a 3.5EB.

No sir. I have the 36 gal tank (factory) while he has the 26. Neither are max tow or fx4 trucks. Both are the tow package that includes the Pro Trailer.

A friend of mine has a 2016 Platinum with about 60lbs more than my 2016 Lariat.
He has power running boards and massage seats -otherwise our trucks appear to be identical.

Can't really explain it. It is odd. I've seen an '18 7050GVWR Reg Cab 4x2 3.5EB 101A Chrome Package Truck with a 2600+ lb sticker. Pretty good for a non-HDPP.

Of course I have an '18 53B Hitch Package Truck with an 18100 GCWR assigned to it's VIN according to an Email from Ford Fleet so mistakes do happen.

Huh. Interesting. I just expected his truck to have a greater payload than mine. Our add on’s are about the same really. Mines just a higher trimmed truck, so I expected a little less.

Aren’t there trucks out there with 6700# GVWR? I guess that since you have the 7k, he must have a lower GVWR and then your extra options balance it out a little.
