I took my new truck to a Cat Scale so I could get an accurate payload number. My f350 has the 12,400 lbs GVW package. I filled the truck up with fuel and drove it 100 feet to the scale. The o ly things I have added to the truck since purchased was a bedrug bed liner and a cheap roll up bed cover. Without anyone in the truck it weighed in at 8360. At this weight I would have a 4040 lbs payload vs the door stickers 3881 payload. I am not sure why there is such a difference. Maybe ford adds a standard weight for the driver when they calculated the payload. I am okay with this payload considering I check almost every box when I ordered the truck to include the sunroof, safe, and factory Warn winch.

There’s a dealer on eBay that sells the factory safe for around $280 if I recall. It’s $330 if you order it factory installed, but it’s a super easy install after the fact too.

Are the factory safes easy to remove? I have one ordered, but my truck isn’t here yet. Could a thief remove it easily?

You can find video’s on YouTube on how to install and decide if you think easy or hard to remove. My guess is very difficult.

I'm going to get the key one aftermarket. Great option to have.

Lookin for help
Seems that the spreadsheet is down? I ordered a 2022 F450 platinum on 12/7 and got confirmation from Ford on 12/9, but haven’t heard anything since. No production date or vin, and when you call in they only say “we’re sorry we can’t say anything”. Not exactly confidence building communication. Long story short I sold my F350 to my pops and I need a truck to haul my Lance. Has anyone had a vin or build date given to them from Ford after 12/7??
