Hi Tim,
No problem . . . I have similarly replied to a thread, thinking it was current and then realizing it was old.
I think you analysis of your truck’s capabilities is correct. You might be confusing some of the content of the HDPP (Heavy Duty Payload Package) with Max Tow. I think all F150s have two leaf rear springs except HDPP which has three. (I could be wrong on this as my knowledge is circa 2014). The other important difference is that HDPP includes LT (light truck) tires running at higher pressure than the passenger car tires on all other F150s. You can’t change the documented payload numbers for your truck, but if you are looking for a little more towing stability, following Ford’s lead on rear springs and tires that they selected for the more capable HDPP should help.
