I was originally going for a super duty. But eventually when my daily driver bites the dust then my truck would become my daily. I'd rather not drive a super duty daily. 🙄
I finally got the dealer to send me a pic of the payload sticker. It's 1760 lbs. I think if my math is right, it will be fine. When the kids are older we will have to out the bikes in the camper or something. It won't be an issue on long trips out west, we won't take our bikes or firewood then. But we do a lot of state park camping within an hour or two driving distance. Some of it pretty hilly (hocking hills state park in Ohio for example)

I had the same concerns since my truck is my dd as well. But I only drive 5 miles each way to work and don't have to park in any tight spaces.
I have a little less payload on the current F-150 than the one you are looking at. I have no complaints about how it tows, handles, or stops. The 5.4L engine has adequate power, and I would think the newer engines are even better.

Hey, I am kind of in the same boat but my truck is actually in Canada. Got a 2016 Super crew short box with the 5.0L, But some magic I got a 3.73 rear axle. When I look at mine I have HD front and rear shocks listed as well but a payload sticker of 1785lbs.
I also got the 20" and the 6 spoke wheels.

We pull a 4500# TT with a 3.5L EB and 3.31 differential, and it tows just fine. Cruising the freeway at 65, it sometimes wants 5th gear instead of 6th, but no big deal. Not as heavy as yours, but worth the perspective.

My truck is a 2016 and it has the heavy payload package. The window sticker says 7850 gvwr. It has the 5.0, 3.73s and the 18" heavy payload 6 bolt wheels.
My yellow door sticker says 2520 lbs payload. It's a super cab 4x4 with an 8' bed. I also tow a 25' travel trailer that weighs 4800 lbs dry. I figure 6500 loaded with water.

Those are the numbers I would expect to see for the true HD package. I would think somewhere it shows that you have the 9.75 rear end too.

HD suspension comes on trucks with the heavy tow package.
The load carrying capacity should be between 1750 and 1900#. With the lighter weight of your truck it works out to the same package as mine.
My 2011 has max tow with the 7700#gvw. My sticker says 1890# or so.
The truck you're posting will have HD shocks and springs and the heaviest duty towing package you can get for the engine. Max tow for the eco and heavy duty (towing package) for the 5.0.
