Actual Max Payload for Lux Trims?
Hey folks,
I'm trying to configure an f350 to match a camper I wish to purchase. The camper (Northern Lite 8-11 EXLE) is a short bed and will weigh an estimated 3500lbs wet. Using the ford towing/rv guide, it seems like it won't be possible to have a legal configuration with the diesel engine? I find that pretty weird since you can't get a short wheel base dually so what's the camper even for?
If anyone has one of the following trucks, I'd love to hear about the actual max payload:
F350 Lariat Diesel 4x4
F350 Lariat Diesel Tremor
F350 Platinum Diesel 4x4
Thanks!

The new for 2020 12,400 GVWR on a CCLB with 18"/20" AT tires would get you the highest possible payload in a F350 SRW 4x4 6.7. Starts at a max payload of 4,580 (XL trim, no options). You didn't state cab config or bed size.

Thanks guys. I'm looking for a CCSB. The Northern Lite camper intended for the long bed is even heavier and I would just go dually at that point.
Seems like a Lariat 7.3L CCSB will have *just* enough capacity assuming the diesel is 500+ lbs heavier than the gasser, but it's not really leaving much room for towing more than a motorcycle trailer or something else very light. A little disappointing you can't really legally have this camper in a diesel.

Wow. I'm assuming the chart from h20camper must be referring to the XL. That would mean just the options and trim from XL to Platinum is 582lbs!

Correct, XL, no options. Platinum probably adds somewhere near that amount depending how equipped. My STX packaged truck added (or subtracted from payload) 184 lbs.

F350 drw in a lux trim will not get over 6k. Around 5300-5400 would be more accurate

If you want a max payload truck, you'll need to go light with the options.

Add the gvwr for the axles together and subtract the weight of the truck with everything you intend to put in the truck, (minus the camper) to get your legal payload weight.
Don't exceed the weight rating of either axle or the tire rating and you will be legal.
