Sorry, sometimes I think of this section as '92 & up Econoline & neglect all of "Truck history". I've been aware of E150 payload capacity near 2000 lb for so long, since acquiring a '92, that the old fashioned way of reading the model numbers has left me.

The '07 listing was out of FORD's '07 sales brochure.

I was not suggesting a "car type tire" for the '08 but a 16" light truck type tire.

My mistake on the '07's. I saw them listed somewhere as having a heavy E150 in 2007, but Edmunds and other online sites list the '07 E150 with a 7000 lb GVW. Then they snuck that change right past me (not that I'm ever going to need to buy another van.

Obviously, payload capacity has gotten quite high compared to the original "half, three-quarter, or one ton" truck thing, but I believe that this has become part of the English language enough so all us old guys know that a "1xx" truck is a half-ton. So Ford is messing with my head by making an 8500 GVW 150--that's just wrong.
