Max Tow Capacity?
I just picked up my truck on Tuesday and I am just looking to verify the max capacities for my truck.
No 5th wheel package. So just conventional towing, and payload capacities. Where can I find these?
Sorry for the really basic question.

Max payload for your truck is stated on the yellow label on the driver side B pillar. Payload is people, cargo, trailer tongue weight, everything.
Here’s a link to Ford’s 2019 RV and Trailer Towing Guide:

You are registered to be at 10,000 GVWR in an F250 and your GCWR is 22,500 unless you opted for the max tow capacity option and its more.
Your axle ratings and GCWR are on the white sticker.
Once you hook up to a trailer make absolute sure you arent over on axles and GCWR. That both the trailer and truck.
If you are hauling with the truck only (in the bed no trailer) the yellow sticker will tell you how much you are registered to carry, ie payload.

I only see the GVWR on the white sticker. It is 11500, but I don't see any GCWR.

You’re correct. Its on that link above. Trace it to what you have and there will be a GCWR, its one of the first ratings. That site also tells you recommended max tow capacities.
There is also a handy yellow sticker on the trucks door jamb. Its your payload, from what I understand its your registered GVWR minus the empty weight of the truck. This is what you can legally haul in the truck itself.

See page 35 for the gooseneck / fifth-wheel specs; you’ll probably find the same 28,700 lbs. GCWR spec. However, the fifth-wheel weight limit is 18K lbs., so it may still be tough to hit 28,700 when you add the trailer’s pin weight to the truck’s payload.

Your truck weight limiting specs are the exact same as my 2019 Lariat CCSB Diesel w/18” wheels
28,700 GCWR lbs (with either 3.31 or 3.55 axle and 11,500 GVWR rating)
15,000 lbs Max trailer loaded weight (conventional trailer)
20,800 lbs max gooseneck towing (with either 18” or 20 tires and Gooseneck)
18,000 lbs Max with 5th wheel towing
Look at your white door sticker and your Rear GAWR (axle rating) should be 7230 lbs
Your Front axle rating will be anything from 5200, 5600 or 5990 lbs depending on if you have standard, HD or snow plow springs
