Does anyone have the color codes for all the different options listed on the spreed sheet. I found the pie charts but nothing for the other columns at the end of rows. TIA
If you click at the top of the option column in row A the text shows up larger in the text box right above column B so that you can read what the color means.
Not trying to hijack the thread but have a question. I ordered a F-250 with the hctp. Should have a payload of ~2800. I want to tow a 10.5k dry weight fifth. Did I F up? It will be delivered in 2 weeks. The idea of starting the entire order process over again makes me nauseous.

I would think that would be fine. Pin weight right around 2000 lbs if it sags too much add airbags. I sure wouldn't start over...

Remember that you asked - You will probably not like the answer.
I have a Keystone Cougar 316 RLS, according to the brochure:
Dry - 10,436
Gross - 12,300
Hitch - 1,900
Last time I went over a scale (this june on a 4000 mile trip) the hitch weight was 2,500 and there was very little in the basement.
I will tell you that with my 2016 F250 there was absolutely nothing else in the bed and it was me, my wife, teenage daughter and a 40 lb dog in the cab. I had cleaned everything unnecessary out of the truck to try and save weight. I was under on the individual axle weights, but 800 pounds over my 10,000 GVWR.
The 6.7 in the truck pulled that trailer like a dream even through the mountains in Yellowstone and Colorado, However, not once did we run into bad weather or have to panic stop.
Though you will probably get plenty of people telling you that you will be fine, you might want to consider going to a 350.
I would rather have excess capacity, would like to actually put some stuff in the bed of the truck, and live in an area of the country where DRW is not much of a hinderance - I have a 8/16 build week for a 450. Also means when my wife wants a bigger fiver I don't have to get another new truck.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I’d rather that than some BS comfort food. The HCTP does increase the GVWR from the standard 10k on the F-250 to 10,800 with the same F350 rear axle and leaf springs. FYI I was also looking at that camper. Currently the wife likes a similar model but it’s a reflection by grand design. Being right on the cusp is a bummer. Wishing I woulda dropped the extra $400 for that F350 badge and sticker

The F350’s come with more air in the rear tires. You can always add some aftermarket air to your F250. It’s an inexpensive mod.

It really depends how much you care about what the sticker says. I plan to tow an almost identical weight 5er and was on the fence between the F-250 and F-350. In the end I just went for the 350 to not have to worry about it as I'd be right at the limits of the 250. However, we all know that they're effectively identical trucks. If I was in your shoes I'd probably just go with it.
Try downloading the Google Sheets app instead of viewing in a web browser. That should freeze the 1st row and column too which will make it a loit easier to view on a phone.
This is the only thread I've set up to get notifications on because I'm interested in this tracking spreadsheet and what Phoenixfla has done for us waiting for our '22's.
Now I'm getting all these notifications about 250's vs 350's and payloads etc....
Can we please keep this thread on topic?
Thanks.

If it wasn’t for the High Capacity Tow Package boosting the payload rating and upgraded axle/leaves, I would 100% go to the F350. You made the right call. If I could go back and do it over I would get the 350 considering it’s only $400 more over the cost of the high capacity tow package. I now see why there are so many F350 orders in the tracker!
