Load capacity

How much weight can I carry in the bed of a 2001 F150 Supercrew. This truck does a towing package, but I want to carry ceramic floor tiles in the bed and not tow a trailer.

There are so many variations in drivetrain, supension, options, etc, you'd have to look at your door plate to get an exact payload weight for your specific truck.

However, generally a "1/2 ton" pickup can haul about 3/4 of a ton
(1500lbs) fairly easily and safely and without your bumper dragging the ground. (or the front wheels up in the air)

The payload is in the 1450-1650 range depending on engine, including passengers and cargo.

While not a SCrew, I put 2200 pounds of drywall in my truck without a problem at all. Its not something I would reccomend driving cross-country doing, but its not a big deal.

Load it til its really starting to look too low in the **** end then stop.

1500-1750 pounds of tile isn't going to be a big deal at all.

I just recently hauled over 1500 lbs of brick around, with no problem in mine. However, the ride was much rougher. I did some checking and on my 2003 fx4, and the limit was around 1700 lbs.

The guy in front of me put around 3000 lbs of brick in his pre 97 super cab. The rear fenders were almost touching the tires. I'd be very suprised if he didn't do some permanent damage to his truck.

Be carefull comparing the bed capacity of the Supercrew to other F-150's. It's either the weight of the Cab or the "plastic" bed fenders, but the S-crew capacity is a few hundred pounds less than that of the Regular or Supercabs with similar equipment.
