Tremor Payload??

Now you guys are making me re-think ordering a 250 and getting a 350 instead............

Thankfully I am in an area where I don't get bent over for registering a 1 ton. Built what I wanted in a 250 and a 350, only about $800 more for me to go 350. The 1 ton is overkill for what I'm pulling now, but shouldn't have to upgrade again when the boss decides on a bigger trailer.

I'm at about the same difference with the way I have them speced.

I'm glad I read through this thread and learned about that payload option on the builder because I didn't understand that choosing those was a de-rating of the truck and I would've screwed myself by clicking the 10k box.

I don't mind having more truck than I need at the moment, because it will come in handy in the future. And this is def cheaper upfront cost vs some of the tickets fees I see mentioned above.
 
A lot of good comparisons and information on this thread. Mostly it applies to one's choices of options compared to desired payload when building a truck to order. Once you get your truck and add all your mods and accessories that number on the door post sticker kind of goes out the window. At any time you want to know what your "adjusted" (daily driving) cargo capacity is, just stop by a scale some time with a full tank and that weight subtracted from the GVWR for your truck is your normal cargo capacity. That's a real world number to work with from then on.
 
Will add mine in:

Payload: 2630
GVWR: 10,800
REAR GAWR: 6340
FRONT GAWR: 5200

Towing a 30' classic air stream, bumper pull hitch weight 1050lb~.

Here is what's confusing for me. I put my vin in the ford fleet live, and my payload is 3267. Your 103 pounds more than me. I have the F350 6.7 Powerstroke Lariat Ultimate, same options as you EXCEPT electric steps and Twin panel roof (which is supposedly weighs 80 lbs). I did order the winch option, so maybe Ford is deducting 200 lbs or so for the winch, even though they weigh the truck at factory w/out the winch.

I'm also wondering about the winch. Delivery estimate is all over the place for me, but I have easy access to a free scale, so hoping to hit that very soon after the winch gets installed to see the numbers.

A few people posted on blue oval that winch weighs 225, and 5th wheel prep weighs 165. Seems high, but that's already nearly 400 pounds of payload gone just from those two options

Have any of them confirmed if Ford includes the winch weight when they're calculating payload sticker?

I was just referring to it as a "de-rate" unofficially, but that is, in fact, exactly what happens. For example, on a F350 build, if the 10K lbs option is chosen, which is $0, it will change the GVWR from 11,300 to 10,000 lbs. It's the same truck, but the factory rates it lower, so you lose capacity rating. That could be problematic if you were caught hauling over your listed capacity, had an accident, etc. This "de-rate" is necessary in some communist localities because they slam people with outrageous registration fees for having trucks over 10K. So I guess Ford offers this free option to save people those registration expenses. Here is the screenshot of the online build option where you would be able to de-rate your build.

I think the de-rate may also be useful for folks bumping up against the CDL requirement when GCWR (GVWR of truck + GVWR of trailer) exceeds 26,000 pounds. I know people regularly have their trailers de-rated to avoid that.
 
My 7.3L XLT, 10K GVWR, with moonroof bed liner, tailgate step, dual battery/alternator has a payload of 2,766#. I figure I'm good to go as long as my bumper-tow tongue weight is less than 1800-2000# (equipment trailer 12K-14K) and if I can keep my wife from gaining an additional 600-800# over the years.

You have 175 pounds more payload than my F250 6.7L ??

Hi All,

I just received my F350 King Ranch Tremor 6.7 L and i noticed my payload sticker showing only 1,764 lbs. This seems off as i read on the previous thread that was closed that you guys with F350 Platinum Tremors have payload numbers in the 3,000's. What is the reason for this? When i build the truck online to double check once you add the Tremor package it immediately downgrades to the 9,900 GVWR package. Any insight here would be great.

The payload on my 2021 F350 with the 7.3 gas and 4.30 gears is 4056. A lot has to do with the gear ratio
 
Got my 21 F350 Platinum 6.7 yesterday. It has 11400 rating but I was a little surprised to see the payload as only 3195. I guess I got too many options? Luckily the wifey is a liteweight.

Gear ratio has nothing to do with payload. It has a bearing over towing capacity, but not payload capaciti meant it helps having a higher gear ratio and it does have a lot to do with towing
