This is arithmetic on your own label, not a rating. Ford's advice: have the fully loaded vehicle, passengers and trailer weighed at a scale before you go.

“Payload is the combined maximum allowable weight of cargo and passengers that the vehicle is designed to carry. It is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating minus the Base Curb Weight.” “When towing, trailer tongue load or king pin weight is also part of the Cargo Weight.” Ford 2026 guide, p. 6 ↗
