payload is different from towing capacity. pin weight could be considered payload i guess but not really. Correction..my 2006 F250 has a towing rating of 15,900 lbs. ( not 15,500). the pin weight capacity is 15% to a maximum of 25% of that number. which equates to. 2,385 lbs to 3975 lbs. 20% would be 3,180 lbs. this is from a Ford Motor Company RV towing publication from 2006. My 3270 rs is rated at 15000 FULLY loaded( which we are not). However we would be close to the upper end of our rating if we were fully loaded. I can e mail you that publication if you like. it answered a lot of questions for me.
