Tremor Payload??

Got some interesting numbers to share. I took my truck to a CAT scale to weigh today.
Stock truck. No cargo other than myself. I weigh about 165 lb.
Fuel tank was between 3/4 and 7/8 full.

Steer axle: 4880 lb
Drive axle: 3220 lb

What I find interesting is that the GVWR of the truck (11,500) minus the actual gross weight (8,100) equals 3,400 lb of available payload. This is pretty close to the “sticker” payload of 3,294 lb.

Additionally, on the Rear GAWR sticker rating of 6,830 lb minus my actual rear drive axle weight of 3,220 lb gives me 3,610 lb of headroom on my rear axle without overloading it. This means that I would be over the GVWR of the truck before I was ever able to be over the Rear gross axle weight rating.

2021 F-350 Platinum
6.7 diesel
Tremor
Sunroof
Winch
Engine block heater
Supplemental cab heater
Roof clearance lights
Front and rear wheel well liners
Rubber floor mats
Adaptive steering
397 amp alternator
Upfitter switches

I have the same truck. Can you tell me what the maximum trailer weight would be? We will be towing a fifth wheel with ours.
If you have the 'exact same' truck then subtract you, your pax, your fuel load, and everything in the bed from 3294. The remainder is how much tongue weight you can legally handle.
You do know your pin weight?

Note that I said 'legally'. It doesn't matter what the Cat scale and your New Math says if you plow into a soccer mom and her kids. Her lawyer will only want to know your door jamb sticker numbers and what all you have in the truck and the 5er pin wt.
The hitch weight of the RV is 2040. Truck Sticker payload is 3265.

I am obviously new to all this. Got the 350 because we wanted to cover our bases. Thank you for your thoughts.

If you have a hitch tongue weight rated at 1800# vs a hitch rated at 2100#, it also makes a huge difference in liability. You can tow under your payload, but over your hitch rating and still get your pants sued off you. 2040# is huge and perhaps some redistribution of your load can reduce that. But yes, you also need to to keep in mind the total payload as well.
 
I've tried searching before posting this and it's completely possible I overlooked it (my kids do tell me I'm getting old!). Does anyone have a 2021 F-350 Platinum Tremor 7.3L Gas with moonroof and power running boards? Curious what your payload is.
Should be roughly 3800-3900 lbs.

I've followed payloads pretty closely as the main reason I'm buying an HD pickup is for a slide-in camper. My order is about the same as yours in weight - King Ranch Ultimate also with moonroof and power boards.
 
I think that's a bit optimistic My KR ultimate 7.3 with sunroof and ridgid steps is 3650. I'd think the folding steps weigh more.

The RAWR is probably a bigger limiting factor for a truck camper anyways at 6950 and the rear scaled at 3373... leaving a difference of 3577

2021 F350 Lariat 7.3L Tremor (Payload Capacity = 3751)
- Ultimate Package / Sport
- Power Moonroof
- 5th wheel prep package
- Adaptive Steering
- Cruise Control (Non-Adaptive)
- Upfitter Switches

I ordered this back in November for the purpose of towing my 14k 5th wheel. I tried to balance my options of what i really wanted and can do without....without compromising the "payload sticker" too much. Everything that is added will slowly decrease the payload sticker so i decided i can do without the winch, power running boards, and heated rear seats. Although i do like those options but do not really need them for myself. Its all up to what is worth it to YOU. A Van Gogh painting is not worth millions to me but it is to someone else.

I’m hoping for 3800 with my build. F350
7.3, lariat value package, 5th wheel prep, tailgate step, spray bed liner, upfitter switches and heated wheel and carpet delete

i think you can easily do it without the power moonroof. That adds almost 100lbs

Hopefully I’ll know soon enough
I also got the 3rd brake light camera, but I’m sure that won’t add hardly any weight.
I was very weight conscious when I built this truck.
 
The moonroof is less than 100 lbs of added weight. My 6.7 F350 is a lariat with a carpet delete, no moon roof, no adaptive cruise and no adaptive steering but I do have the power running boards (not sure this one matters as the sticker says the same as those with the fixed running boards). Also has the 5th wheel prep package.

It’s 2021. We are literally living in a world like “the jetsons” and these manufacturers can’t create a website that shows you exactly what your build will weigh as you’re clicking at the options button

You should be there, I have all of that but with sport package and bench seat, payload is at 3826.

None of this makes sense to me. I have a 2020 Platinum F-350 6.7 Tremor with sunroof and no power running boards and my payload (3383#'s) is higher than yours without sunroof

Would you want to post your window sticker or options list?

Do you have 5th wheel prep? That’s fairly heavy by itself. At least 50lbs

Not sure but the 5th wheel prep package might be the difference?

No 5th wheel prep.

Awesome truck! But unfortunately, the sunroof dings your payload capacity quite a bit
