New Tow Rig 2016 F-350 PowerStroke
Probably didn't really need it but finally bought my dream truck, a new F-350 powerstroke! Our trailer is only about 7,700lbs but I figure the bigger the better especially since we plan to tow some long distances and eventually upgrade to a 5th wheel someday. Sure did hurt trading in my F-150 I've only had for a year but live and learn I guess.

Very nice truck.
I am curious, what does the yellow sticker state as payload capacity?

Congrats and nice choice! You'll be glad you skipped the 250 and went straight to the 1 ton.

Difference in payload between the 2015 and 2016 must be 4x4?
Thanks for both numbers.

I did the same thing last year. I sold my 2000 Dodge CTD and bought a F350 PSD SRW. Ive only had the opportunity to pull my trailer with it once on a short run but from what I can tell it was a good choice.

That is a pretty big difference, I wonder why. Mine is a pretty standard long bed crew cab XLT, not a lot of extras.

Long vs short bed and maybe tires/wheels, skid kit, etc.
When I purchased my SB gasser sight unseen (was at Ford's regional compound), I was surprised that as a XLT with 18" wheel/tires, heavy duty alternator, tail gate step, running boards, power mirrors, rear camera, skid plates, upfitter switches and remote start, the payload was 482 lbs lower than published. Little things add up.

There is almost 300 pounds of payload difference between the XLT CCLB 4x4 and the Lariat CCLB 4x4. The leather heated seats vs cloth standard seats, dual electric seats vs driver electric/passenger manual, touch screen radio system vs conventional radio, 6" chrome running boards vs 5" black boards and that darn "dash compartment" over the radio add quite a bit of weight to the lariat package that's not included in the XLT. Additionally, the spray in bed liner weighs almost 75 pounds. I've seen it as "dealer ordered option" on most lariat's around here but not included on most XLT's......
Not only do you "pay for those options" on the window sticker, you also "pay" for them on the yellow door sticker......

Very nice truck, enjoy. I have the gas version, crew cab, red bed and my payload is over 4,000. The engine makes a difference for sure.

Mine is a Lariat with just couple extra options and Super Cab with 6.5 bed so that probably most of the difference.

Saw the weight, I thought ... same weight as my trailer! Had a laugh when I saw the make of your trailer. When I had the chance to buy my trailer, I got what my truck at the time could tow. When I had the chance to upgrade the truck, I didn't think twice about going bigger "than I needed!"
I thought I'd be in a hurry to get a bigger trailer, kinda' happy with the ease of towing of what I have. When closer to retirement, we'll get something better suited for 2 and 3 months on the road.
Enjoy the new truck, safe travels.

That's funny, sounds like we both followed a similar path. My 1/2 ton did great with this trailer I was just always paranoid thinking about the what ifs going through the big mountain passes and heavy cross winds, etc. with my family all on board. I don't doubt the abilities of the new 1/2 tons, I guess I'm just over cautious and wanted a tv I know is not the least bit stressed with the trailer :-D

For many of us, the "OK, if I have to, now I can" turns into a "OK, since I have it, I will".....
