Next up: 2020 F350 6.7L Crew Cab Long Bed SRW with Lariat trim/Sport Package. Not bad with 4,513lbs load rating.

 

Are they both SRW? I’m assuming they are since they are GVWR of 12,400. That is pretty good if they are. The extra 1,000 lbs of payload will be nice.

 

Yes, both SRW trucks added on edit. I wanted to post these as I know people will be asking those questions. Some will want to see differences in trim levels/options...etc etc.



I'm surprised as to the numbers myself compared to the DRW showing 5,413 lbs payload. Not to mention the numbers above reflect a SRW curb weight of something around 7,900lbs. This is gaining a 500+lb (if not more) difference over some of the older trucks which helps.

 

So..."Platinum" is a heavier metal. That would account for the 48lb difference! :hehe:

:joke: - I'm sure the "P" version has some gizmos the "L/SP" doesn't have.

Those are good #s. My '01 isn't close. But I don't have a truck payment either.

 

Those numbers are what is given as the payload capacity you should be able to carry for each truck. So the Platinum can carry more...albeit 48lbs.

I didn't go down the window sticker to do a "one-for-one" option comparison. On first glance the trucks were damn close to identical: Snow PLow, Aux Heat, 5th wheel prep, 4wd, etc etc etc

So it's not that big a difference between trim lines. I just wanted to post what I have been finding. I may find and post the F350 DRW trucks and F450 trucks just to see where the numbers fall out.

 

Next in line: 2020 F450 6.7L Crew Cab Long Bed DRW with King Ranch trim. Interesting to see 4,782lbs payload, but then again those are big hips. LOL

In Spanish slang, the drw model is referred to as a petacona (big butt)...whatever the name, they sure cruise down the highway comfortably...

 

thats almost enough to haul ( within capacity ) a standard upscale slide in camper ( lance/arctic fox etc with maybe 1 slide

pretty good considering the past capacities you almost needed a 2 wd single cab dually ,,

 

Did I read that right? A DRW KR was only about 200lb more payload over they Platinum SRW?

So now CC F350 short bed is up if anyone see one.

 

It’s likely due to the fact 14000 lb is the limit for GVWR on personal trucks / non commercial ?

@Fishsizzle: Yes, the F450 DRW shows a load capacity only 200lbs+/- over a F350 SRW.



I was trying to find a F350 CC SB with the door stickers pictured, nothing yet.



As far as the trim level I was including that as to show if there was any significant difference between somewhat identical trucks. At this point trim levels don't seem to matter much at all. It's hard to find dealers that include pics of the door stickers. So I just try to make sure they are pretty close from the pics they do post.

 

Yeah I’m shocked that the trim levels are so close. Usually the more stuff on the KR/Plat took the numbers down

I’d be a serious shopper if a short bed breaks 3500k payload on higher packages

 

My 450 STX crew cab 4x4 with some options is stickered to 5177 lbs.

 

I researched payload numbers before I ordered my 2020 F-350 SRW Lariat with Sport package. The GVWR of the SB is 11,500# vs the LB at 12,400#. The SB has around a 3500# payload bs the 4500# for the long bed. Not sure why the long bed has more payload in the 350’s when it’s the opposite with the 250’s. I’m looking at buying a 5th wheel trailer with a 3500# hitch weight and this truck will be my daily so I wanted to make sure I’m within my payload capacity. Attached are the payload stickers of a 350 LB they had on their lot. They also had a SB but I didn’t snap a picture of the sticker unfortunately.

 

Why does the long bed have about an additional 1,000 lbs of payload? Seems like a lot of difference from a SWB for a few inches.

 

That's what we are trying to determine. The SB trucks may be forcing the 11.5k GVWR over the 12.4k GVWR LB trucks.

 

Because the 250's are 10000#'s maximum GVWR, and 350's SRW go up to 12400#'s

 

We are only talking about SRW F350s, not trying to compare 250s to 350s. SRW F350s can be ordered up with the 11,500LB rating. Which is not what we want to see. If a SB truck will only come as 11.5k that might be a deciding factor for some people.



I knew I should have lot surfed for the F350 SRW SB trucks to get some numbers.

 

Long bed trucks have a longer wheel base, that allows for better weight distributing between front and rear axle, that is one of the reasons for higher pay load

 

That was never an issue/reason with the older trucks. Yes, one could change the GVWR as a order option but it was never driven by bed length. So while your statement is good for a mathematical answer, it's not a good answer for why Ford changed the script.


Fellas it seems as Ford might be doing something different with the 2020 line. I found 2 F350s both SB trucks showing 11.5k GVWR. No payload stickers showing, just the door sticker. Window stickers show 11,500 GVWR Package. Seems odd to order it up that way but since there is a 11.5k package option I could guess it was ordered. If it's a forced option due to the SB selection that kind of sucks.

2020 F350 SB with Tremor Package door stickers. Okay...If you want a SB...mind as well order the Tremor Package since you are going to be limited in payload. Kind of weird since I can't get to the window sticker. I thought the Tremor package gave more black in the emblems/headlights....guess not.

You have to order the sport package with the tremor package to get blacked out

 

So when looking at just spring codes.....A 2020 F250 SB Platinum @10,800 GVWR has the same codes as a 2020 F350 SB Lariat @11,500 GVWR ...both show LLNN codes on the door stickers.

 

Yes that is what I ordered
F350 Lariat with Tremor, Lariat Ultimate & Sport packages.

 

Make sure to post up those pics when you get it in!!

 

Will do.
They are saying 8-12 weeks.

Nice truck
I've had 3 of them
Went for a Lariat this time though as it's for work, and it was the only way to get blacked out badges and "operator commanded regeneration".
