Payload Confusion
What’s the correct payload capacity? The tire and loading info sticker that says 1379lbs or the GVWR sticker which say 7700lbs minus 5628lbs curb weight, which is 2072lbs. Thanks for the advice!
Your truck is your truck. The listed weight may be off a little but just go with the sticker or do the math on your weight subtracted from the GVWR.
Subtract the payload (1379) from GVWR (7700) and that is how much YOUR TRUCKS CURB WEIGHT IS. Your truck weighed 6321 lbs when it rolled off the assembly line. When you see curb weights listed in literature and online, they use a base model truck with no options. The more options, and the higher trim packages add weight to your truck.

Probably don't need anything too crazy for suspension or tires if you are planning on hauling an RV, the trailer won't be heavy enough to need truck-work to make it a better tow vehicle.
1300lb payload brings you the option for a small RV.
If you intend on loading up the bed with 1300lb of stuff, then yeah the tires will be a good choice.

Base weight on an 2010 f150 xl 2wd with no options is 4693 on cars.com. The site allows you to look up your specific trim and engine size (mines a 2010 king ranch 5.4 V8 157" with a 6.5 bed) so I thought it might be pretty accurate. Regardless, I'll get it weighed next week to see what the correct weight is. Am I correct in subtracting that number from GVWR to get the correct payload? If that number is different from 6321. I also got E rated tires to handle more of a heavy load. I am trying to put a truck camper on there after beefing up the suspension a little more. Thanks for the help.
