2024 F-150 Platinum Plus payload sticker - 1195 lbs

[HammaMan]

Weird - my 2024 Platinum plus had 1317lbs payload. Not sure how you get to 5000lb towing?

my wife and I are 320 together, add 80lbs of tools, and we tow this and not overweight on any axle, or gross combined. Actually rear axle over by 30lbs, my mistake

You wearing your flame suit?

Yep - people choose to not understand loading and weight distribution, or is everyone super fat? I don’t get it.

That’s said, the OP has a ridiculously low (and likely bound by GVWR, not capability) payload number. I avoided getting max tow as it has the stronger axle that breaks all the time lol. Go ford.

From my perspective, you are doing it correctly. I no longer care about the 'payload sticker'.

That said, pretty sure max rear axle rating is 4150#s so maybe you should add a click of tension to the old WDH?

Excellent observation! Yes, I should go one more link, we have a hitch part that is galled so I didn’t want to go tighter till I replace it, and, it tows really nicely, and the axle itself is rated for 4400#, the spring pack for 4150#, so wasn’t sure I wanted to chase compliance.

I actually think it was under until I pumped all the fuel out. Trailer axles are 4400#rs, changing to 6k as water and fuel overloads the trailer axle, stupid for a 9999# trailer……

I looked at a used 2023 PB Limited and Platinum. One had a CCC of 1326#, the other 1387#.

My 23 XLT PB has a CCC of 1587#. I have probably used 130# of that with add-ons.

Wow! What an awesome truck! I would buy that piece of rolling glory and add air suspension and a rear sway bar. I would then tow a nice 7500lb tandem axle trailer nice and easy all over the country.

One of the reasons I got an F150 was for more payload. My Honda Odyssey is rated for 1300 lbs and we max it out with the whole family and a popup trailer. Had to be careful when shopping around - as this thread shows, it can dip below that if you pick too many creature comforts! But it can also go north of 2,000 lbs with the right spec, which is awesome.

Thanks for sharing yours! Mine had a factory installed retractable tonneau cover as well as spray in bedliner, these would reduce my payload sticker.

2024 F-150 GVWR is 7400, on your scale measurement you are 420lbs over limit (3640+4180). Did you take your family together to the scale?

I got to 5000lb by assuming my wife, my son and I together weight 500lb, I will carry another 200lb on the bed of the truck, which leaves 500lb for tongue weight. Assuming 10% of trailer tongue weight (which is optimistic), that puts us at 5000lb trailer.

I understand what your saying about cargo….but That truck can “tow” way more than 5000 pounds.

It is surprising how quickly "sticker" payload disappears being a homeowner just trying to buy some bags of mulch at home depot.

My E-150 was probably only about 5 years old when I bought roofing shingles for the entire backside of my roof.

They loaded them in the back with a forklift, lowering very slowly once it touched the floor.

Right until "clunk".

OK, two trips . . .

Rear air bags contribute to the GVWR but that’s a fine ass Rapid Red machine! Fight the gimped stickers!!!

I got a ‘22 Powerboost F150 Platinum FX4..No sunroof(didn’t want it), but otherwise loaded, 20” rims, cargo rating 1300 plus pounds. Great truck.

You are actually really overloaded.... 3640+4180= 7820, your GVWR is what 7200 (look at your window sticker or the little white sticker in your door)? Will the truck fail, probably not. However, if you are ever in an accident you could easily have a civil suit on your hands.

They said 5000lbs towing because of the 10-15% of trailer weight to hitch weight rule of thumb. I'm not sure what vapor lite you have but I'd venture to say your hitch weight+LP+Battery+tools+fuel+you and your wife are well more then 1317lbs, probably roughly 2100lbs which is why your 620lbs overloaded.

A weight distribution hitch does nothing for that, it only puts load on the front axle as well as the rear axle so your axles are OK it does nothing for GVWR.

 

[isthatahemi]

It's fine, axles are under rating, tows well, nothings overloaded. Also, it's not over GCWR......it's a stretch to say that being over GVWR is an issue, at all.

And you clearly don't understand how insurance works.

Honestly, GVWR isn't a failure point, my entire truck is well within it's limits, axles, tires GAWR, (those are the safely / handling / failure items) Gross Combined, etc. I focus on what can be an issue, not what the tow police cherry pick.

My family consists of me and my wife, (320lbs) and it's fairly plain to me that if one is concerned with overloading, you don't add weight to the truck in the form of items in the box, toss those in the trailer.... And it seems your confusing tongue load with trailer weight. 10% is a guideline, depending on many factors, including the WDH, is not necessary.

I guess it depends are you asking what will work, or what will mathematically satisfy the sorts that want to chase GVWR. I challenge anyone to explain in practical reasons without using BS about civil liability, a reason that needs to be adhered to if the axles are not overloaded.

note - I avoided max tow, in fact traded a truck with Max Tow, ( and it's comically unreliable axle) that all the numbers, even GVWR, worked months ago, because GVWR isn't important in any form with a braked trailer. For hauling, or an unbraked trailer, that's a different story.
