    It appears the screenshot there is from the email.  You can also go to Ford's Tracking website if you have your order # and VIN.  This will provide some information.  Ford Vehicle Order Tracking

     

    I was able to add my VIN to the Ford Pass App, but doesn't really have any information as far as the build goes.

     

    It also sounds like there is no connection between your order and the Reservations/Orders area under your account on the Ford Website. 

    I was curious about this as well. My account doesn’t mention anything about reservations/orders so it made me call the dealer right away to make sure my order was submitted 

    '10,000/9,900 GVWR Package'

    I have never heard of this actually happening. The payload rating is not law. I do not get this fear of being in an accident everybody seems to have, you all must crash a lot more than me. I drive 30k miles a year and have for decades, some years with a CDL I ran 3-4 times that. I have never had a wreck where this would have been an issue. NOBODY is checking this on an RV EVER unless you are pulling a 40 footer with a Ranger. Non issue in my book though there are plenty of weight police around with crazy scenarios and arguments that scare people into obeying a sticker on their truck. If you are within the weight ratings of the axles and the tires that is all that matters to the law. Heck I may just peel the tire info/payload sticker off like a tag off a mattress...  If you are concerned about insurance, read your policy, see if there is language like that in there. 

    I don’t mind the driving since I work on power lines so we haul 60’ poles all the time but just new to the whole personal towing and legalities 

    Good info to know thanks

    Looking at the payload chart in the 2021 brochure,  F250 4x4 crew cab short bed, the listed payload ratings are (for 9900GVWR, payload is 3320,  for 10,000 GVWR, payload is 3370, or 10800GVWR which requires diesel and HCTT, payload is 3470.


    Dont mean to thread jack but that payload chart is the maximum payload, correct?

    if I were to add a moonroof and other stuff I would begin to subtract from that right?


    asking because I ordered a truck but skeptical due to not knowing my exact payload.

    No physical changes to the truck, it will be built exactly the same as if it had an 11,300 sticker. I am pretty sure even the axle weight ratings on the sticker remain the same, just the GVWR number changes. The payload number will drop from ~4300 to ~3000 on the other sticker with tire information. The heaviest load I am likely to haul will have less than 3000 lbs pin weight and the tires will be swapped for a set with higher ratings than what is on the payload sticker negating that information. I will always be under the axle and tire capacity which it what really matters. 


    but say for instance I get in a wreck with a 5th wheel and the hitch is 3k lbs but on the sticker payload says 2800 I’d be SOL wouldn’t I?

    Even though the real payload is higher

    Nope, it's the same components, it's just a different sticker. The truck will still perform just like the ones without the derate, but the GVWR is lower, which helps with registration and licensing fees in some states. It's a legal thing...

    I figured it was a legal/insurance thing but always nice to hear someone’s input

    thanks!

    So on 5/24 when I placed the order and paid my deposit I immediately got the confirmation email from Ford. Also, while submitting my order, my dealer went ahead and entered both mine and my wife’s license into the system. Since then, I have called Ford marketing hoping for a VIN, and while I still don’t have one, each time they did conform that my order was in the system. I think they called it “Unscheduled-clean” but each time my order and information was all entered into Ford’s system. Maybe it needs to be entered…. harder?? I don’t ow…
     

    A couple of weeks after I submitted all of my stuff is when these verification forms became a thing… and the consensus was that this only applied for orders placed after June 8th. Despite this though, many people have reported that their dealers contacted them for a copy of their license and/or a $500 deposit that had ordered before June 8th. When I asked my dealer about this he wasn’t even aware of it at first but assured me that everything of mine was good because he had already collected that info and entered it into the system anyway. Also, I assume he was in the VVR and he said everything looked good in there. 
     

    And now this… now we need yet another confirmation letter?! I somewhat wonder if this is real, or if it’s just dealers coming up with stuff to stay busy… I guess all of these things could also be true and sometimes some of the dealers just present things that haven’t been presented before to simply assure all of us that are patiently waiting for our trucks…

    What number did you call to confirm?

    my dealer said it was submitted but I’d like to make sure with Ford directly.

    State Troopers in my part of Colorado have a fixation with the trucks GVWR sticker. State law is that if your truck is stickered for 10,001+ and you are connected to a trailer rated for 10,000+ "for commerce" you are required to have a CDL and all that goes with it. This, even though the Federal standard is 26,001 GCVW. So I wanted an F350, because I can. I chose the 10,000 GVWR option to get the door sticker that reads 10k. This means I can tow the gooseneck with the mini-excavator without a CDL because A) I will be below 26k lbs combined and B) the truck is rated below 10,001 lbs. 

     

    It will cause the payload to be "derated" by the 1,300lb difference and the max gooseneck rating to be 19,000 instead of 20,000 but there will be no physical difference in the truck from the standard rated version. LEO has been checking this and enforcing the law. Having the 10k rating exempts me from all of that extra hassle. Nobody will ever be looking at the payload sticker anyway, and I am unlikely to ever need to go over the 3000lbs+ it will still be rated for.

     

    Very handy option for some of us. Just a paperwork work around.


    is the “derated” payload real or does the package actually swap parts for less payload?
