Hi All,
I just got my new Raptor - was hunting for it for a while... I think I could be the only nutcase in NYC to drive one... . BTW this forum is the main reason I became an addict - thanks and keep up the awesome work!
I got a quick question for you guys: what's the actual maximum weight I can carry in the truck? There is some conflicting information:
That last one is a bit of a concern... It's basically 4 people and a pack of cigarettes...
My situation is this: I'm going camping up north, and will be driving about 1000 miles - 200 of which on gravel roads. I need to bring at least 800 lbs of equipment with me (plus myself, the missus and a 100 lbs dog). The total will easily exceed 1200 lbs...
What's the real story? How much can I safely load in the truck? There will be no offroading when loaded, but those gravel roads will have some washboard sections in them...
Thanks in advance!
Michael

- The Ford website shows 1030lb max payload
- The difference between the shipping weight on the title (5980 lbs) and the GVWR (7300 lbs) is 1320 lbs
- The sticker on the door says 887 lbs (!!!)
That last one is a bit of a concern... It's basically 4 people and a pack of cigarettes...
