Polobbie Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Does anyone know if Ford uses predetermined weights for various trim levels, accessories, packages, and options to calculate the resulting payload on the door sticker or if they actually weigh each completed truck coming off the line and simply deduct that weight from the truck's GVWR?

akirby Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 It’s pre calculated and includes fuel but not passengers or cargo or any added accessories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polobbie Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Thank aKirby, So if I ordered a truck with the retractable cover, does the payload sticker not include the weight for that accessory? I'm guessing you meant to say the payload sticker does not include accessories added by owner after delivery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972Mach1 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I still do not understand why a 250 with the HCTTP which gives the 250 the same axle and springs as the 350 yet gets a lower rating vs the 350. I really do not care as I will tow as if the truck is a 350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
