Hi all. I've got a lead on a barely used 2021 F250 7.3 gas, 10 spd King Ranch with 22k miles on it. Seems like a decent price. My question is what is the difference in payload between an XLT and King Ranch trim (if any at all)? It's just an interior package, correct? Nothing different in the springs or drivetrain? Thanks.
Payload is directly related to curb weight and GVWR. So, lets say both trucks have the same GVWR, the higher trim, higher optioned truck will have a higher curb weight making for a lower payload capacity

Thanks. I guess I'm just asking what options it may have that would increase it's weight.

The obvious would be seating. The leather seats weigh more than the cloth seats. We aren't talking thousands of pounds, so the difference in payload shouldn't really be much of a factor. If a couple hundred pounds, or even a few hundred pounds is going to make or break your use of the truck you might want to consider one with a higher GVWR, like an F-350.
I was able to find an options weight for the KR trim pkg at just over 50lbs. That was from the 2018MY but shouldn't be much different 2021MY.
If you're comparing them, just check the door jamb sticker to see the payload rating.
If online, have the place shoot a pic of the sticker and send it to you.
As mentioned above, trucks with the same GVWR will differ in payload depending on their curb weight. A blanket comparison of an XLT to a King Ranch isn't really fair or exact. My XLT is stripped, no fog lights, no power seats, no running boards, the folding center seat in the front, etc. Start adding power, massaging seats, power running boards, insulation to quiet the interior, sun roof, the center console, those KR 20" wheel/tire set vs, 18" set that comes on the XLT, etc, it all adds up little by little. A top trim XLT vs a King Ranch won't be as dramatic of a difference.
You need to look at the payload sticker of the truck you're looking to buy and make a determination if it's enough for your needs.
What they said. There is a chart that shows the weight of all options and how they are distributed (front vs. rear axle). Biggest things are power running boards and ext. running boards (60lbs - 73 lbs) and moonroof (64lbs). .....but it all adds up.

Just ask for a picture o the yellow sticker in the drivers door jam, no need for any other questions after that, it has the payload on it.
I remember seeing xlt and low option lariats about 300-400 lbs higher payload than both my KR and Platinums; everything else equal. But mine have been highly optioned so it can vary.
Not to worry as most of that weight sits on the front axle as everything from the cab back is similar enough from XL to Limited.
Not to criticize, but I never understood the "replace the truck every 2 years" mindset. Keeping my trucks for 12 years before replacing them, and working hard to pay off all debt (except a low interest mortgage) allowed me to retire 4 years early.
I had a similar decision to make as having to do a new F250 Platinum or King Ranch, keep my 21 F150 King Ranch. I too pull a Jeep (all over the country) and approaching an age where if I do something it will be for a long time. The '21 KR was paid off and did all it needed to do and was fully loaded. In the end it did come down to more of a want than a need, thinking may "want" to tow an large RV, "want" to be sure comfortable and had the tech desired for long trips, "want" a larger bed... Funny thing is settled on a clean low mile '22 F250 Platinum with a high capacity rear axle and diesel. My story is get want you want for the long haul, new F250's are made well and will last as long as need it, it is not an easy choice so enjoy the ride and don't look back.
