Yes I was too Jeff but that was the reason I got the it. It has the what is called the 10,000 GCWR package which by Ford specs gives you that 60 more lbs then the base model F350, I would have had to go up a couple more GVWR packages on the F350 models to get any significant gains on payload...

Thank you Ladiver for the reply! I have a 2016 Ford Heavy F250 SRW Supercab 6.8' bed, 6.7 Diesel 4X4. Which gives me 60 lbs more payload then the base F350 and has the same towing capacity as the F350. I speced all the weights out before buying it and after talking to the factory and a couple...

First I have to learn how to navigate around in here I wasn't sure where to post my initial post and see that it was moved to a better place. Might have to bear with me till I learn more about forums I usually hangout on facebook.

The wife and I just bought a 2010 Cyclone and can't wait to use it for the first time. I hope to learn a lot and get good answers if I have a question. I am pretty computer savvy but this is my first Forum I joined.
