Heavy Duty payload package
What are your thoughts on whether Ford will offer the 8200 GVWR package with the 6.5ft bed?
From all I've seen, it's only available with the 8ft box which seems odd since hardly anyone buys a truck nowadays with the 8ft box on a half ton.
This along with having the 6.5 box option on the Supercrew would be a great half ton truck in my opinion!

I read in one of the broucheres circulating on the web (in .pdf format) that if you have the 5.4 motor with the 3:73 axle in a 6.5 foot bed it will do the newly acclaimed 9500 pounds of GVWR. With the 3:55 it is only 8500 GVWR. I hope that will shed some light on the subject.
