Tremor Payload??

[Avslash]

Not who you're asking, but this is a tough one to answer since we "know" the 250/350 are the same truck (with same engine).

In a non-Tremor, the answer is obvious; increased payload.

In my case, I didn’t know enough at the time to realize the Tremor 250/350 are supposedly the same truck.

I have previously researched the F350 derate option and I’m confident it is a paper only option. I can find zero evidence of any mechanical change when that option is selected, so 350 with derate is what I was looking for.

On the Tremor, it’s kind of like Spinal Tap; “but these amps go to eleven.” But mine says 350…

I think you made the right call, though! See my response above, had you gone 250 you wouldn't be able to legally pull your trailer. As I was refreshing my memory on the various GCWRs I kinda answered my own question...

That makes sense to me especially in a area that could be sticklers on ratings.

All of this gets incredibly hard to sort through for the user between state and federal regs and manufacturer specs.

For instance, for a non-derated F350 Tremor, the 2022 Towing Guide states maximum gooseneck trailer weight of 20,000lbs and for a de-rated F350 it states 18,200 pounds with no mention of "Tremor". So add back the 1,300 lbs you're derating and you hit 19,500lbs. What happened to the other 500 pounds to get back to the non-derated Tremor, which is already derated by 200 pounds from a non-Tremor. Additionally, there is no asterisk and footnote for GCVWR for a de-rated F350. That number remains the same at 27,500, for Tremor, Non-Tremor, derated or non-derated truck. In a previous life, I was a CPA and this kind of stuff would have driven me nuts.

Hence, I hit on my solution. Derated F350 I'm within spec and legal under state law and federal regs on GCVWR and trailer weight and below CDL territory virtually everywhere. I'm busted on payload, but as I said, other than commercial vehicle weigh stations, I have never seen a cop weigh a rig in Texas, and to do it right they would have to split the truck and trailer to weigh each individually. Our local Barneys aren't going to work that hard, and I'm not even sure if "payload" is an enforceable term under Texas or Federal law. Maybe it is, I just don't know.

All that said, I wouldn't hesitate for minute to hitch up a 20,000lbs load if I needed to move it and if the law wanted to visit, I'm a farmer within 150 miles of my farm which is the trump card in Texas. Which would be true, for anywhere I am remotely likely to be hauling that much weight.

Nice payload & even nicer truck!

Thanks unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control I wasn't able to take delivery. I am hoping to get my 24MY f350 platinum tremor 7.3 in a few months.

What payload you’ll end up with is hard to figure out. I thought the 23+ SD’s had higher payloads, but that truck is nearly identical to my 21 KR Ultimate Tremor 7.3.

The '23/24 do have a higher GVWR by a few hundred lbs but unless the two trucks are optioned identical to one another a comparison is meaningless. All it would take is 2 or 3 heavy options that yours might not have to even things up.

I figured it's something to give a starting point. This truck had pretty much all options that are included in the Platinum minus the bedliner, tonneau cover and max recline seats.

Payload didn’t go up much for the standard F350 7.3Ls Tremors (199lbs) over the prior generation and I suspect there was a slight curb weigh change in 23 now that they went to a 11.6”sterling diff vs old Dana M275 10.8”. The diesels saw a more noticeable increase of 500LBs in F350 Tremors forum .

24 tremor F350. Lariat Ultimate no sunroof. 3948.

This 23 350 lariat 7.3 tremor curb weight was 7590 with GVWR at 11499

Nice payload. I would have gained only 39# without the sunroof. So I guess I spec'd it out pretty well.

Ford used to have the pano roof listed at a 64 or 65lb option weight.

How interesting. Super late to the party but posting my stats. '22 F350 with 7.3, Lariat Ultimate and BAP, no moon roof. I purchased in WY, not sure if that matters. I'm not sure what putting the full Carli E-venture does to this number, but interesting to see it higher than others. Mine was made in the second to last production run in '22.

I'm missing the memo with how mine is so much higher than others though. I do have dual batteries, but my winch was installed after delivery at the dealer. Is it solely the 11300 GVWR package doing it?

Right in line with my 2020 F350 7.3L Lariat Sport(now BAP) at 3826 listed payload. The 6.7Ls in the 2020-22 saw lower listed payloads around 500LBs ish depending on options for F350s.

My 7.3 23 lariat ultimate with a moon roof and highly optioned is 3006 months payload

 

[Supercup]

My 7.3 23 lariat ultimate with a moon roof and highly optioned is 3006 months payload

So it is a F-250 correct?

I have a 2022 F250 7.3 with similar options and with a 10000 GVWR I’m a little over 2600 lbs.
