The payload numbers shouldn't be too surprising since you are going gas. 10k GVWR, high trim and diesel is when you get the 2k payload capacity.

I am leaving my F150 for a larger truck because of payload capacity. The truck I currently have on order is an 2022 F250 CCSB Lariat Ultimate 7.3 3.55, and I suppose I am a little concerned that it’s payload capacity may not be as high as I hope.
Does anyone have any actual payload figures for a similar truck that can either put me at ease or force me to change my order?
F150 payload is 1689lbs and I was hoping for north of 2500lbs and closer to 3000 lbs in a F250.

Since we’re talking payload, does anyone know what the moonroof takes away from payload? I’ve been trying to find this answer since 2015. I’ve read quite a bit on the subject, both here and other places, but the opinions are all over the place. I’ve seen some estimates as low as 60 pounds, but that seems pretty low with the weight of all that glass versus an aluminum roof. I’ve went as far as trying to find similar optioned trucks with and without a moonroof for comparison, but those are hard to find these days.

This is a weight sheet with the 34' trailer and the door car loaded. Unloaded trailer axle weight attached to the truck would be 7380 lbs. 2020 F-350 DRW 7.3L 3.73 gear. Truck was 7520 lbs unloaded, 2 persons, full fuel load - 4080/3440 axles weights.

No, mine is 3.55 axle which I believe is the Sterling axle, the 4.30 axle is an optional upgrade. The sun roof is also option in the Platinum trim, I did not order that both for additional payload and I don't care for them. I only went with an F-250 because F-350's are more expensive to license in my state.

There’s no way to get an F-250 gasser with a GVWR over 10K lbs. Accordingly, virtually every option reduces payload. Specific configuration F-350 SRW 7.3 trucks are available with a GVWR of up to 11,900 lbs.
IIRC, the moonroof reduces payload by 64 lbs.
