...is link to a specific post from last page re F-150s
In particular, note 1,810 lbs payload for the hybrid. In the testing video they had that big box trailer at over 12k lbs per them. 200 lbs of a solo driver and test gear and that leaves max of 13% tongue weight… a fine line to walk indeed.

2021 Ford F-150 max possible payload and towing specs,
noting that higher trims and heavier bodies (e.g. SuperCrew for all but the PowerBoost, which only comes crew cab!) will reduce these...
...platform instead. That extra GVWR would be key to making it useful with the same heavy body + 4x4 slapped on.
Edit: same issue with poor payload (CCC or OCCC in RV lingo) on the Ram 5500-based Dynamax Isata. Reportedly 1k via this link for 4x4, ~1400 lbs for 4x2, quite sad even before...

47 kWh usable. 168 km range. 80 kW level 3 DCFC. 85 kW motor power. At least 891 kg payload is decent for what it’s designed for, as an urban delivery vehicle.
...25' 11"
5,471 lbs UVW, with 625 lbs tongue weight
1,314 CCC, so 6,785 lb GVWR and 775 lbs fully laden
Mercedes-Benz GLE 350:
1,631 lbs payload
6,600 lbs towing capacity
117.9" wheelbase
4,696 lbs curb weight
it could also be a 450 or 580
Mercedes-Benz GLE 450, with the 580 very similar...
...(against the same GVWR) due to its extra content:
176” wheelbase
7,538 lb curb weight
10,800 lb GVWR
6,340 lb rear GAWR
3,040 lb listed payload, even though that’s not what simple math yields, go figure
likely 25,700 lb GCWR
17,500 lb bumper pull tow rating
Trailer, assuming 25FB floorplan...
...long bed 4x4.
Trailer is 4,545 lbs dry, 450 lb hitch weight, probably close to its 5,500 GVWR and thus 550 lbs typically.
Tow vehicle payload is about 1,551 to 1,817 minus options in Ford’s “with 150 lb passenger in each seating position” presentation, so 750 lbs more as a raw figure?

The Rivian's payload to claimed towing ratio reminded me a bit of that for the Jeep Gladiator, which besides garnering Shane's scorn is a really oddly proportioned thing.

...options that’s a $58k truck as a 2020, albeit no doubt discounted like all the 1/2 tons are. Yikes.
For that money one gets 1,800 lbs payload and 8,010 or 9,710 lb towing depending on whether 3.21 or 3.92 gearing. The payload seems like it’d limit the effective weight to around 8,000 lbs...
I just made a reservation to rent a 1-ton pickup from Enterprise Truck Rental from 9/8 to 9/15.
From specs sounds like it'll be a gasser. I definitely need the crew cab, and if it's an option will opt for DRW, 4x2.

...experiment post-Labor Day will likely involve 750 lbs of tongue weight, and 750 lbs of people and luggage (against my Land Cruiser’s 1,500 lb payload).
Load index 125 is 3,638 lbs @ 80 psi (!), which should be just right for vehicle + load weight.
Edit: 732 lbs tongue weight on the...
Time to amuse myself with numbers, since that is what I do:
Payload (lbs)
Tow rating (lbs)
Lbs/hp at max combined weight
2007 Land Cruiser (which had no real options at all to pick from)
1,500
6,500
46.8 (12,400 GCWR, 265 hp)
Tesla Cybertruck (dual motor AWD variant)
3,500
10,000

...black matte grille. Hemi logo on front fender, not Cummins. Multi-ball attachment in hitch--clearly used for towing.
Depending on 2 or 4wd and axle ratio that truck is rated between 14,310 and 18,210 lbs towing, and somewhere in the neighborhood of 7,050-7,280 lbs payload.
(An honest pickup!)
...be installing once it arrives from Amazon––it would have been nicer to have something about 1,000 lbs lighter as for more overhead given the payload of us 5 + our gear, but it should be ok if just so. I anticipate lots of time spent in 2nd gear on the way up and down passes. Might end up...
...and school is actually physically in session...
Surly Big Easy
Pros:
- Bosch Performance CX mid drive for a little extra torque
- 400 lb payload (rider + cargo) rating and brakes/wheels/tires to match that load
- dropper post, now stock (previously just with bosses for one's cabling...
Segway has created the Wall-E pod!
https://www.wired.com/story/segway-bringing-hoverchairs-wall-e-life/
At last!
24.8 mph top speed. 43 mile range. 60 inches tall. Can carry 265 lbs in payload but weighs 330.7 lbs so not something one's going to bring on the bus.
