The heavy duty payload package was not offered on the 6.2L equipped trucks at any point. You could get them with the Max Tow package, which is a different option. The max tow did increase payload, but only by a couple hundred pounds.

 

HD Payload are for the longer beds. The 6.2 are all short beds hence no HD Payload ever.

edit: Oops. There are 6.2's with a 6.5' bed CC. Although they never had HD Payload.
The 6.2's with a 6.5' bed must be rare. I don't think I've seen or heard of anyone owning one.

 

As it is the 6.2s are rare in non-raptor trucks. But starting for 2013 you can get a 6.2 in the 6.5ft CC truck, as well as extended cab trucks now and on XLT and FX4 trims(used to be lariat up). I think Ford is giving everyone a chance to get at one if they REALLY want one, because I have a feeling they will be going away(even in the Raptor) by 2015.

 

This thread sure de-railed.

Any more ACTUAL Heavy Duty Payload-equipped Lariat Supercrew truck PAYLOAD numbers?

I started this thread looking to see if loaded Lariat Supercrews are sporting 2,200 pound plus payloads.

My 2010 Superduty has a 1980 payload, and since its a daily driver, I am considering stepping down to a Heavy Duty Payload F150 for the 10X a year I pull my flying brick. A diesel for daily driving just to tow a few times makes no sense. Since the payloads on these trucks are going to be really regulated shortly, I'd like to move soon if I am going to at all.

Thanks for the replies.

 

I researched a long time before ordering mine last week. I knew early on I wanted the HD package so I focused on threads about trucks with that 8200 GVWR. I think the lightest payload I remember seeing was 1950 lbs or so on a Lariat. The heaviest rating on a Lariat was close to 2200 lbs. When you start adding a lot of options, it eats into the payload. Running boards, radio upgrades, sun roof, bed liner, seat options, etc etc all affect it.

 

"Here is the payload sticker off my (2012) F-150 Lariat 4x4 EB HD SuperCrew 6.5ft Bed truck"

2,168 lbs

Plus Package, Chrome Package, HD Payload, Max Tow, floor mats, heated and cooled bucket seats, tailgate step, EB, etc.

 

Smoke, click on Patman's link.

4x2 Supercrew, HD payload only available with 6.5' bed and 5.0, 8200 GVWR, 2620 payload.
4x4 Supercrew, HD payload only available with 6.5' bed, 8200 GVWR, 2310 payload with EB, 2330 payload with 5.0.
All require 3.73 gears.

I KNOW this isn't real world, but that's all you can really go by without weighing the specific truck with a specific configuration before loading anything in it except a full tank of gas and your butt. The 8200# GVWR is probably going to be the limiting factor. Trying to research actual curb weight is futile, but the *base* curb weight of a 6.5' bed Supercrew is 5716.

 

Not sure if this helps seeing as you may be only looking at new 2013 model trucks.

But I have a 2010 FX4 5.4L 3.73axel with max tow package and towed my fathers boat 28ft pursuit, with a tri-axle trailer, plus all of our fishing and dive gear from michigan to the Florida keys. 1450 miles.

Boat and trailer on scale was 9500lbs with fuel tanks empty. Dive gear and fishing gear for the 3months stay was at least another 800-1000lbs

two passengers 400lbs plus jack spare tire misc tools and bs for road trip 200lbs

The truck pulled like a champ engine and trans temps never went any higher then daily driving (I thought they were busted in the te mountains) mad the trip in Mid July and returned in mid august ran A/C full blast and truck never struggled one bit could still accelerate up hill.

Once in FL Filled boat with gas 180gals and truck still pulled it just fine.

Average MPG for trip was 6.5MPG truck can and will pull anything if you are willing to shell out the fuel for it.

Hope this helps the truck is rated to tow 11,200# and it towed right at capacity through the mountains in the heat of summer without missing a beat and i would hook it up to the boat again today and tow it anywhere in the country.

Have also pulled loaded dump trailers full of teardown materials in the 13,000-15,000# range short distances 20miles on flat ground and truck did just fine with those as well.

 

The truck may have done fine, but you were way over one or more load limits. That's not a smart thing to do and I'm pretty sure that the OP wants something that will tow what he has without exceeding any limits.

 

I realize at times I have overloaded it especially with dump trailer. The trip to FL I never oerlaodedit until I filled boat with fuel 50miles from final destination. If he only needs to tow rcration equipment within the load limit of whatever he is looking to buy there should never be an issue. If he needs the truck to do it day to day everyday at capacity and over capacity for work then he needs to get a powerstroke. Otherwise gas engine f-150 vs 250 for daily driver and recreational towing within limits the f250 is somewhat pointless unless you want to tow a fifth wheel.

 

If the boat and trailer scaled at 9500#, you WERE overloaded in all likelihood. You will exceed one or more of the other ratings before you exceed the "max tow" rating unless you are going with an empty truck and bed, a 150# driver, 1/4 tank of gas, and 8% tongue weight. The max tow rating is marketing - valid only under ideal conditions. There's GVWR, GAWR, GCWR, and payload capacity to consider.

The OP currently DOES have a diesel F-250 and is looking to replace it. Not sure what his trailer is these days, but I think it might be a 5er.

You don't need a Powerstroke to tow heavy, a gasser will tow heavy just fine - you need the stronger truck.

 

I doubt that it is just marketing. These trucks are built to handle a lot more than they are rated. Its like the warning sticker on a ladder that displays, "Do Not Exceed 250Lbs". The ladder can actually hold 5X that amount. Its just that Werner wants their a$$ covered when they get hit with lawsuits.

 

I would certainly hope so. However, I have to play devil's advocate. If you are overloaded and something bad were to happen - such as an accident - you could be looking at a serious liability issue.
