It is interesting that the 2017 F350 SRW has a GVWR of 11,400 and a 2016 F350 SRW has a GVWR of 11,500 for loss of 100 lbs. Weight savings of going to aluminum body was eaten up by frame and drive train upgrades ended up being about 300lbs so net gain in payload of about 200lbs. I was hoping that Ford would increase the GVWR like Ram(12,300lbs GVWR) did to increase the payload.
