Now that trucks are arriving on lots I was determined to see some actual payloads. I scanned a popular car sale site (over 200 pages) looking for actual photos of trucks. 95% were placeholder images, but there were a few actual vehicles pictured. Luckily one dealer in particular had 2 XLT's and posted images of the payload stickers. I have attached them along with the Monroney sticker so that you can see the actual options each truck has. I am very pleased with the payloads these highly optioned XLTs have!

Those are actually pretty comparable numbers to the 2020 I would say. Looks like you could get 1800+ on a 302a if you drop that tailgate step.

See if you can find a loaded out platinum. Will tell us the most as we can back out option from there.

Loaded 4x4 Platinum:
3.5L EB: ~1577
3.5L PB: ~1307

Where did you get those numbers?

1307 was from a payload sticker on one of the Plat BP press vehicles and the EB has 270 more payload.

I’m not sure we have established that as direct fact yet. I have seen a few plat EB stickers and they are reflecting maybe 150 pounds more payload not 270.

The 1307 came from a photo from a reliable source. The max payload for different wheel bases and power trains is documented in the tech spec pdf. It shows that the 145" 4x4 has a difference of 270lbs of payload between the EB and PB. My old man has a loaded 2015 Plat and it's payload is in the 1500's. So the numbers are pretty close.

Your old mans a 2015 has no bearing to the new truck. The 2017+ lost significant payload over the earlier trucks with many only returning 1300 pounds. The king ranch in dougs video has near 1400 pounds of payload a king ranch should be similar to a plat.

For comparison sake, from my '20 302a 4x4 157"wb. Has a tailgate step too.
