I'm not, by any stretch, an expert when it comes to payload but I can share what I know. Your payload is calculated by taking your GVWR (usually 10,000lbs in the case of the F-250 w/out the tow package) and subtracting the weight of the vehicle (before adding in cargo and passengers). The GVWR is what Ford believes is the maximum weight that the vehicle can handle safely. Individual axle weight ratings refer to the maximum load that the axle can handle safely. The maximum load that the two axles can handle together is more than the GVWR for various reasons (other components play into the calculation). There are a lot of threads re the legal implications and the real-life experiences of people towing while exceeding recommendations. I personally follow the guidelines because I don't know enough about the details to disagree with Ford on their numbers.

I went with the Morimoto LED Headlights https://www.morimotohid.com/morimoto-super-duty-20-xb-led-headlights_3?quantity=1 and I have been very happy with them. The stock halogens are terrible.

I was also at Ramp 1k. I'm not sure how many ramps there are or if there is any order to how trucks flow through that point.

Sharing my experience (not necessarily a recommendation) I was concerned about interest rates when I recently purchased by 22 F-350. I spoke with my credit union and they said that they can process a loan as long as they have a VIN and a Purchase Order. I ended up signing the loan docs end of June and receiving the truck mid August. I did secure a much lower interest rate because of this (2.99 vs mid 4s that were available when I picked it up). However, I don't want to suggest that this is a good idea for everyone. I felt very uncomfortable while I was waiting for the truck to arrive as I wasn't sure about a situation where I was paying for a truck that I didn't officially own. It felt like there were a few things that could go wrong and I would have felt very silly for doing things out of order.

You can still get there by selecting the 2022|2023 Super Duty (under Trucks in the main menu of ford.com). Then using the dropdown menu to select 2022 Super Duty. From there you should see the Build & Price option. You can get to the inventory search from the summary on the build page.

When I search dealer inventory, I change the URL to expand the radius as the page only shows up to 100 miles. You should be able to use this link and just change the zip code and the radius. https://shop.ford.com/inventory/superduty/results?zipcode=83815&Radius=500&year=2022&selectTrim=f-250platinum

I paid about $2,500 over MSRP. I also took over another order (at MSRP) but it does not have a VIN yet. This was, by far, my cheapest option for getting a 22 in time to do some camping this year.

Picked up my 2022 F-350, CC, SB, Lariat Ultimate, Oxford White, 6.7L today! Here is my order timeline. It took almost a year but I can't claim to have waited that entire time ( I took over an abandoned order ).

I was excited that my truck was finally moving after 2 months in KY. Now, I'm going on 10 days in Blue Island, IL... I've been told that this location is a "black hole" and I probably won't get another update until it's at the dealership. Could be next week or 6 months from now... I can't complain though as I've seen some movement. 118 days is ridiculous. They should apologize and give you a big discount. No excuse for this.

Yeah, that is ridiculous. I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with Ford marketing yesterday. They agreed that my delay (much shorter than yours) and the lack of communication was not acceptable. The rep said she could not do anything about it but that she would pass on my concerns to her management. The marketing department (800-392-3673) does not seem to have any direct access to any other part of the company. I don't think my call to them had anything to do with my status changing later that day but who knows?

My Lariat Ultimate 6.7 CCSB sat in awaiting shipping for 55 days. I just got the update that it has finally shipped and is on the way. I was beginning to worry that they had lost it (maybe they did for a while!).

I'm at 50 days awaiting shipment (rail delay). They just moved my ETA to 7/28.
