They must not have the calculator setup for earlier trucks.

Has anyone found this to be accurate for payload compared to their sticker in the door?

They are probably just having fun with it.

Use the stickers on your truck.

Silly gimmick. Weight ratings are just a suggestion anyways. When you can't pull it without going to 4-low, then you might be over just a little bit....

payload is correct but the max pin weight doesn't make sense

On mine, the information under "Your Vehicle's Capacity" is correct, but the information under the "Remaining Capacity" is the information from a truck with the lower GCWR truck (AKA: without the HCTT package). So the part that is calculated is wrong from the get-go. Seems they have some wires crossed somewhere... LOL!

completely understand. I have a 23 that’s built and waiting for shipping. Tried it and it gave me a payload. Just curious if it’s accurate. Always like knowing the numbers for my truck. Obviously when I get my truck I’ll look at the sticker.

I found it odd also, but it reflected what is on my door sticker. Just don't add what you think is the tongue weight as part of your cargo weight...

I don't understand why you have to go to a web site to access that calculator. Why isn't it in the Ford app for smartphones.

I tried it, didn't like it, it seems to have some wrong numbers, I already weighed my truck and camper so no need for this calculator.
