It’s easy enough to know. Add up everything including all people, dogs, groceries, generator, whatever. Subtract from the yellow compliance payload sticker on drivers door jam. With that number left over, divide by .13, and that is the approximate max LOADED weight you can safely haul. Of course check other weights like max combined vehicle weight, max axle weights, etc. But since payload is *usually* the first weight to get busted, it is a pretty good rule of thumb.
Some f150s have payloads that surpass 3/4 ton diesels. Shop the sticker. Look for the max payload package - NOT MAX TOW. Max payload will include max tow, but generally have to be ordered. They are capable trucks that can even handle some small fifth wheels.
