Holy crap that's a lot of payload in a half ton SUV! Tell me more about how you got to 1905? Short wheelbase, no sunroof?
I don't know. You should be able to find the VIN of a non-HD towing FX4 and use parts.ford.com to look up the part number for the rear springs.Shane - so any FX4 will have HD springs, or yours does because it's FX4 + Tow Package?

I’ve never weighed it without wife/4 kids+car seats/gear/WDH installed (used 3-pass method to confirm hitch setup). But the weight was significantly lower than what I estimated.
Also, we considered getting the FX4 and having the dealer install the brake controller. The dealer quoted ~$500.
I have not checked the part number on my springs yet. Wait! I bet I can use parts.ford.com... be right back...
They’re separate options. The price does get lower on the HD tow once you check the FX4 box as the differences are much smaller.I thought fx4 came standard with hd tow So it would have the brake controller

I think the towing guide is using a 150 lb driver in determining their advertised maximum towing capacity and payload capacity which is understandable because you can't tow or haul stuff without a driver, but that 150 lb driver is useless for most people. The door sticker is just the difference between the curb weight and the GVWR which is better for determining your own situation.I am conservative.. that's why I'm trying to collect the appropriate data.
I think I've mixed up the overall payload (shown in the yellow sticker) and what the Ford Towing manual states (see attachment). This verbiage is from the 2020 towing guide, which has been cleared up compared to older year model tow guides I've been looking at. The older text was not always as clear as the 2020. No matter how you cut it, payload shouldn't exceed the yellow sticker
