You are right. The truck in the video is, I think, SuperDuty... However, the system from SuperDuty has been brought into 2021 F150. https://www.thedrive.com/news/34388/all-the-most-innovative-new-features-on-the-2021-ford-f-150 I am not 100% sure on this but the system on 2021 F150 is an...

The following YouTube video from Ford seems to suggest otherwise:

Very similar thoughts, though I am still persisting with max tow. With stronger axle, better brakes, it’s got to be superior. For some reason, Ford is, intentionally or other unintentionally, under specifying the payload. My thinking is that if one could stay legal with the official payload -...

The weight of WDH does not count against the payload. It has an effect but is far from a straight addition. https://www.etrailer.com/question-180152.html

Thank you! No worries! I am going to keep pursuing it until confirmation specific for PB.

Thank you! That is good to know! I had the following exchange with someone at B&W I have previously been in touch with (and quoted in the original post) as late as Dec 18 focused on the PowerBoost engine. Did you check 2021 F150 in general or the PB engine? I have been focused on the PB...

Don’t sweat that too much. The decrease in payload for 6.5’ PB over 5.5’ PB is 20 lbs. Disappointing but not that material.

I think you have provided too little information. You should have enough capacity to tow 8000 lbs trailer - and are most likely limited by the payload. You need to get a better read on that. How much of the trailer load winds up as tongue weight depends upon what kind of trailer (5th wheel...

For PB enthusiasts - the last one is eyeopener. Pretty much has the config I want - in Plat. Could drop the spray liner but Plat 701 will add options like Power Running boards when moving from XLT. So, 1466# is a tough payload...

Any idea if there is a payload impact of the B&O unleashed?

I was thinking that buying Trailer TPMS from Ford means one sees the TPMS readings and warnings on the console - rather than having another monitor for them. The Amazon listing TPMS seems to have its own monitor. Is that a correct understanding of the situation?

We are buying a similar configuration as a tow vehicle. Excited about it but also apprehensive about the low payload rating for the PB trucks. That's where most of our concerns lie. We'd prefer to order a fairly loaded Platinum but might downgrade to KR base to gain some payload. At least...

The weight of fuel in the tank is already included in the payload calculations.

This is helpful. That said, in the other thread - @Roger350 brought up the upgraded / stronger rear axle that's not listed in the table or elsewhere... So, there are omissions here in the data available...

@Roger350 - Does the heavier duty axle increase the payload / GVWR?

I also wrote to Reese. The response I received from them is: No ETA is available for a fit for the 2021 F150. I do not know of any company that offers one as of this morning. We are holding off buying the truck before confirming that 5th wheel towing will be possible. We don't need it until...

The response shared above from B&W applies to gooseneck as well as rail hitch fitments. Seems like B&W has not yet had access to the 2021 F150/PB to check their fitments. They will but don't have a timeline for it yet.

Thank you! I have been trying to follow up on this topic from the beginning and reading every forum with an eye to this topic. I came to the conclusion that a reliable answer will come from the vendors that supply the underbed fitment rather than Ford or its dealership. I don't know all the...

I am interested in buying 2021 F150 with the new hybrid PowerBoost engine to tow a small 5th wheel camping trailer. This engine has some new underbed components that extend to the rear axle. Whether the 5th wheel hitch underbed fitment is compatible with the new F150/PB has not yet been...

Thank you, Bob! That's a good idea. I will talk to our local tire store. It's a relatively small store. Are bigger dealers better for this?
