It is a cool link, I've used it a couple times since seeing it posted a few days ago by another member.
I think it's safe to say your payload sticker is correct and the discrepancy just comes from the different calculation used for specifically camper loading.

If in fact the slide-in camper certification payload is 25% less than the total stated payload on the door jamb sicker, As it is in the OP example.
There is likely not a Super Duty truck that would have the legal capacity to handle the large 5,000 lb slide-in's like the big Lance or Artic Fox top of the line units. Not even a F350 DRW or F450. As I believe their max payload capacity is about 5,000 lbs. If they too lose 25% for the slide-in certification no truck can handle the slide-in weight on paper.

Camper certification has always been lower than payload for s few different reasons.
one of them is a truck camper usually has a high vertical center of gravity which changes the handling of the truck.
Sence we have so many people who don't understand that and stiand think 80 to 90 mph with the camper is fine, Ford want an "OUT" if someone looses control and rolls over and wants to blame Ford for making unsafe vehicles that roll over.
Remember Jeep and the big deal that was.
