Just wondering what the realistic payload capacity is for a 2022 King Ranch F350 SRW 176" WB, 8' bed, 7.3L V8, 4.30 Axle Ratio. 11,900 GVWR package
Options included and excluded:
Will have FX4 package
Will have Front suspension Package
Will have Adaptive Cruise Control
Will have Moonroof
No Adaptive Steering System Option
No Power Deployable Running Boards (Angular Chrome Extended Running Boards in it's place)
No Tremor Kit
Just want to make sure I have enough Payload to pull an approx 16,000 lb 5th wheel before I put in the purchase order to build. I could strip the Moonroof if needed.
Thanks for reply,
Yeah i'm trying to do more researching before I put in the purchase order. I guess I could go with a lighter 5th wheel. I'd rather have the truck I want since it will be my DD.
Use the PDF guide below to add up your options and subtract from the base payload of 4,790. (Someone with a similar truck might chime in with their payload sticker value.)
I was bored and came up with 463 in option weight. See attached, highlighted options. Double check items I marked in RED as what would be on your truck. Could get more accurate if you shared build sheet.
If the camper is the one you really want, find the real pin weight. Dealers will sometimes do this, Owner Groups will sometimes have the info. The sticker pin is a base. I would guess the pin from 3200-3900 lbs. We looked at two identical base campers, both had the same pin weight sticker. One was the base model, the other had washer/dryer, king bed and a big residential frig, no way they were the same pin.
I have a highly optioned lariat with moonroof, power running boards....no camper or plow package. 7.3L CCLB with 4.30 gears. Payload is 4153. I don't have the FX4 package. That will reduce your payload as well. Unless you really want hill decent control, I wouldn't worry about adding the FX4. Just add the skid plates and call it good.

FX4 for "Hill Descent" when I am going through the Mountains. Have a friend in Montana I'm planning on visiting and I love the Mountains!
Am I wrong for wanting "Hill Descent" option for going down mountains or steep descents? I've never really actually used this option on a truck. Figured since it's a Gas vs. Diesel I could use all the help I can get when going down the mountainside.

It's intended to be kind of an off road assist feature. It only works at something like 20mph and under. Basically just modulates the brakes to keep a certain speed instead of you doing it. Some just add the button after the fact instead of paying for mediocre shocks and a sticker.
Now that i've actually researched it. seems like adaptive steering is what i need vs Fx4 since adaptive steering works with tow/haul mode at high speeds
After reading it over you're right. what do you think about adaptive steering system. it's supposed to work in conjunction with tow/haul at high speeds and low speeds?
No, adaptive steering is where the wheel either turns more easily if you are going slower or turns slower if you are going faster to assist you in not turning to hard during high speed and supposed to help you turn in slow speeds. I don't think i'm going to add that either because it's just another system that will fail
