Relationship between wheelbase and payload
I was thinking they did raise the GVWR for the 157" (6.5 ft bed model). I could swear back when I bought my 2018 that the 5.5 ft beds had a GVWR of 7,000 lbs and the 6.5 ft beds had 7,050. I could be completely making that up however. I'd have to think though that the extra material would be more than 50 lbs and therefore lower your payload rating even though your GVWR is higher. If in fact I'm not making this up.
I know there are some that have a 7,050 GVWR, but maybe has nothing to do with wheelbase.

if you scroll through it gives you the max payload for every single configuration they made as well as the frame dimensions.

There is a whole thread dating back to 2016... complete with trim packages.
From a production standpoint I don't see why Ford would make 1' longer frames any "stronger" than the typical box rail frame they bragged about many years ago.
Maybe they add a cross member...

A chart I found. Look at the 4th post. Rail Section dimensions and the Modulus, and wheelbases. KM
