Just as I said, about 200 lbs more with a loaded truck with the Max tow. With the 6.2L it would even be less than 200 lbs with the same trim and option level.

This isn't the page you were looking for, is it?

With upper trim levels and options, the 7675 lbs should be standard. What sense is a truck if you can't use it as such because it's loaded up?!?

My 2008 Sport Trac with the 4.6L V8 and 6 speed automatic trans, came with appearance package (larger tires, fog lights, plastic running board), power seat, tow package and Hard folding tonneau cover. It's payload as optioned, and as stated on the tire loading sticker, was 1218 lbs. That payload was better than some 2010 FX4 Supercab models I've seen and some new Dodge Rams. If the trucks are heavy from options, Ford needs to jack up the GVWR so you'll have the payload you need and expect!

I'm actually pleased with my 1430# payload as I was expecting less for the options I have.

 

Interesting, my salesman sold a 4WD Screw 5.5' Bed, 5.0L with standard tow package. It was a Lariat fully loaded with power moonroof and everything. It had side steps but no bed accessories. Payload was 1274 lbs.

Now here's the interesting part, it had a standard 7200 GVWR with the front axle at the standard 3750 lbs but the rear axle was a whopping 4050 lbs! My rear axle and even a new 2011 FX4 Screw have 3850 lbs rear axles, along with the 3750 lbs front axle and 7200 GVWR.

I'm guessing that the Lariat weighed so much that Ford upped the rear axle but left the GVWR and payload untouched. Really surprised. Ford doesn't have the F150 on their builders site yet, but the 2010 builders site had the 3850 lbs rear axle as the max capacity for the standard tow and payload. The Max tow configuration was different obviously.

 

Anyone else have any numbers for this thread?? It would be interesting to see.

 

This is not new. I 've seen this with 2010s too. As high as 4,050. Dealer I knew kept a spreadsheet and tracked GAWRs across diff configs for a while. Thing was you couldn't make sense of where you might get it. No accurate way of knowing. But 4,050 did exist in 2010 MY too.

 

If there was no pattern according to configuration, perhaps it had to do with parts supply. Backordered 3850 lbs axles, just put the 4050 lbs in it.

They did this with my riding mower. Was suppose to have single cylinder, 18.5 HP motor. After research, those motors were backordered and manufacturer put in 24 HP V twin engines from the more expensive models.

 

Guys, This is just supposed to be for 2011 owners. We don't want to hear about the 2008 Sport Trac or the 2010 F150 this time.

 

I looked at a 2011 today:

F150, SCrew, 4wd, XLT, 5.5, reg tow, 18s, 5.0L, GVWR 7,200
Payload @ 1,368
F GAWR 3,750
R GAWR 3,850

 

Also the dealer shown me a 2011 FX4 with the 5.0L and 5.5' bed. It was sold so it didn't have the sticker on the window to find the options.

It had a Payload of 1386 lbs
FGAWR = 3750 lbs
RGAWR = 3850 lbs
GVWR = 7200 lbs

This model didn't even have the side steps so that's pretty heavy

Also another FX4 at another dealers lot, this was a 2010 Scab with 5.5' bed.

Payload was 1274 lbs, didn't look at Axle ratings or GVWR.
It was loaded but had no power moon roof or bed accessories.

 

Well the EBs are arriving anyday now, we need some GAWRs from these units.

 

I'm new here, great forum. I'm looking at ordering a 2011 F-150 in the next couple months and have been doing a lot of research.

Payload information is hard to find and can be very deceiving when looking on manufacturer websites. Here's what I've found so far looking at F-150's with the 6.2 L on dealer lots:

1. 2011 Lariat Limited, 6.2 L, reg tow package, payload approx 1160 lbs, 22" wheels, 7350 GVWR?

2. 2011 Platinum 6.2 L, max tow package (7700 GVWR), all options incl nav, camera etc), 20 inch wheels, approx 1440 payload.

3. 2011 Lariat, 6.2L with chrome pack, nav, camera, standard running boards, etc, max tow (7700 GVWR), 18 inch wheels, 1560 payload.

All supercrews, all loaded, not sure on the axle info. I think it stand to reason that comparable max tow payloads would go up approx. 200 pounds with either the 5.0 or ecoboost engine.

 

For comparison...

Year: 2010
Model: FX4 SCREW
Drivetrain: 4WD
Engine: 5.4L
Rear End: 3.73 locker
Wheel Size: 18
Axle Ratings: Front GAWR 3900, Rear GAWR 4050
Bed Length: 6.5 foot
Max Tow Pkg: Yes (7700 GVWR)
Payload: 1656

Looks like the extra weight of that 6.2L is taking some payload away over the 2010s.

 

What options do you have with your truck, if you don't mind me asking.

 

2011 XTR SCrew 5.5' EB
7650 GVWR / 3750F GAWR / 4050R GAWR / 1787 Payload

2011 Lariat SCrew 6.5' EB
7700 GVWR / 3900F GAWR / 4050R GAWR / 1702 Payload

EB being lighhter helps...

 

What the hek is an XTR??? There no such model on the Ford F150 site.

Strange that the XTR EB FGAWR is still only 3750 lbs with the Max Tow, yet they raise the GVWR 450 lbs.

 

I believe the XTR is a Canada-specific model.
