Payload for 6 1/2 Foot Bed

[natwood1957]

Just ordered a 2022 F 150 King Ranch Powerboost with the 6 1/2 bed. Does anybody know how much the longer bed effects payload vs the short bed? (I ordered a 4x2 for payload purposes.).

I believe the difference between 5.5 and 6.5 bed is approx 21 lbs. that being said the longer wheelbase of the 6.5 will make it feel more stable while towing.

I second this fellas response.
The 21 lbs is officially what Ford states.
And the physics of 12" additional wheelbase is significant (you can feel it) when towing the same exact RV towed with the shorter wheelbase.

It's win-win except in tight parking.
