I apologize if this has already been posted somewhere but I couldn't find it.

This weekend I ran across a worksheet that has the weights of options so you can calculate the payload of the truck you're thinking of ordering. The payload published by Ford is the base model without options.

Using the worksheet I found the weight of the options on the truck I've ordered is 424 lbs which reduces the published payload from 2610 lbs to 2186 lbs.

The worksheet has the weight the option adds to the front as well as the total. I noticed there are a couple of typos for options that actually reduce the weight. For example, 18" cast aluminum wheels reduce the weight by -22.2 lbs on the front but overall adds 44.4 lbs. Of course, that should be -44.4 lbs total.

You can download the 2014 worksheet at https://www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas...Payload_SB.pdf

I was unable to locate a 2015 worksheet but I expect the option weights are the same.

 

Is your inferred question "Are the payload ratings the same for both years?"
Probably.
Remember that the payload rating includes one 150-pound person at each seat belt location.
If only two people are in the truck then the payload capacity increases by 600-pounds in a six seat crew cab truck.

The true method is to take the truck to the scales with a full tank of fuel and weigh it.
Subtract the scale weight reading from the truck's GVWR and you get that particular trucks actual payload capacity.

No, I wasn't referring to the payload ratings, I was referring to the weight of the options available to add on to the truck

No, per the document I posted "Maximum Payload Weight Rating: This is the advertised payload rating. It is the maximum allowable payload
for the truck, including driver, passengers, optional and aftermarket equipment, and cargo." If you have only two passengers that doesn't increase the Maximum Payload Weight Rating, it increases the amount you have available for options and cargo before reaching the Max Payload Rating.

Yes, if you have the truck available to take to the scales. If you're configuring a truck to order and the payload is important to you then you can use the referenced worksheet to get a better handle on the payload.

 

Of course. The truck doesn't come with six passengers either.
Yet the payload rating is based on that assumption.

It would make the proposed "question" more clear if it ended in an actual "???"
Sorry that I bothered.

 

I know what you meant... And it is deceiving when I look at the payload worksheet as compared to the truck's sticker on the door jamb.

Maybe I could help you out this way. What configurgation are you looking for/at? I have a Platinum with snow plow prep, dual alts. Crew Cab, Long Bed, 4x4. I also have the 11,500 payload package. It has 5 seats.

Would that help you?
