I've seen Ford F250 XL model diesel trucks with 2800 pounds of payload and that same F250 diesel when equipped with the Ultimate package have a payload of 1800 pounds... That's a "thousand pounds of luxury" at the expense of "fifth wheel capacity"...
So, with most trucks, you've got to actually see the payload sticker "ON THE DOOR OF THAT TRUCK" (or have the VIN to go to the specifications website) to know what any specific vehicle can carry....

Thanks. Makes perfect sense.
Yeah, I realize and understand the options add up. Which is why I don’t want the high county. There are some options I want.
