Crew cab, 4x4, 2500 lb payload, 17,200 gcwr, 4800 rear axle. weighs just under 5200 lbs with 36 gallons of gas onboard.
So,not a unicorn, but you will likely have to wait 8 to 12 weeks for them to build it. Ford does not let dealers order them for the lot because the payload exceeds a 250 diesel, and thus may cut into potential sales.

Just think of the payload you COULD have if you did not get your truck with all those goodies. Heck, one post on this thread shows a towing combination (TV an F150 and 5er fully loaded) maybe 600 pounds less than my trailer. No thanks, I will take my package any day. I guess the OP should consider towing a 42 ft. Toyhauler using your numbers and logic. It is more of a misinformed new world than a brave one.
