Payload sticker for F250 KR Loaded

I don't know how much weight the Platinum Ultimate package adds vs. the KR Loaded; but I suspect if you're hoping for anything close to 3,450, short of an F350, you are about to be disappointed.
I was shocked when I looked at mine (shown below). I even went to a CAT scale and weighed it. Doing the math, my sticker is within a 38 pounds of reality. (Reality is worse -- 1,720); and that's assuming it's just me and my EDC under the rear seat, hitch, etc.

If one compares the F350 CCSB gas with 10k GVWR downgrade with similar F250 CCSB gas which also has 10k GVWR, the 250 has 210 lbs greater payload capacity.
Based on that 200 lb difference, my guess is 2500 + 210 or approx 2700 lbs for OP's truck.
One of the heaviest add-ons in these loaded trucks is probably the glass roof, so anyone greatly concerned about losing legal carrying capacity may want to skip that option.

My hat's off to OP (and most of you here) for thinking about this on the way in.
At the end of the day, my towing capacity is enough for what I want/need to do -- for bumper pull -- so I got lucky.
I do find it greatly limits me for fifth wheel so I guess I'll wait until I get a bigger DRW (or get something like this http://www.automatedsafetyhitch.com/) for that.

^^^ Regarding the twin panel moonroof, the 15+ F150 owners say its a 64 lb penalty, so its same for the SD since they share the same cab.

Also the fact that the 64# moon roof costs you 96# of fifth wheel capacity. Some of us find out too late that while more stable, and providing more storage, fifth wheels exact a 15% penalty (usually) on payload where as bumper pull tends to exact a 10% penalty on payload. So anyone considering payload should be mindful that it gets used up very quickly on a fifth wheel vs a bumper hitch if they intend to pull.

Interesting data. I tried to access the ebook site for 2017 but it is a secure ford website that only employees have access to.
Thank for the info.
