Any Experience with Custom Order Ford Super Duty?

Question: whats your reason for going 3/4 ton instead of 1 ton?

Smoother ride while empty

$2k savings (+ another $1500 since I would have also done 5th wheel prep)

No intention of towing more than #10k

And the payload still came out pretty good

What did your max payload come out to be as equipped?
Just saw the picture, great looking truck! I dont think I can go back to shorter bed after owning my first long bed for the past year.

2,664 lb. With 800 on the tongue, another 800 with the wheeler in the bed, that leaves a little over #1k for cargo and passengers, and this is just to stay within the rating. The camper package added a helper spring and overload spring. Even though it didn't increase the payload rating, it will have an effect when overloaded due to the helper springs and the additional spring stops for them.
