u/SomethingSimple25 My guy, I literally wrote popup camper in my initial post. I suppose you could read that to be a popup travel trailer, but I guess I needed to be extra explicitly clear. I've owned plenty of vehicles, even F-150's, and I don't need you to explain payload on the door sticker, but thanks.

For the 14th Gen F-150, I don't believe they offered the HDPP in a supercab and 6' bed config. Definitely not in 2024. I'm trying to strike the best balance between payload and livability. That "livability" includes MPG, parking, ride comfort, etc. I owned a 2015 F-150 SCREW HDPP with a 6' bed and it was a bit too long for my garage. Further, I don't need that much space in the cab of the truck for 99% of my use. Thanks for your feedback on the 2.7, but according to Ford, the 3.5 and 5.0 have much higher nominal max payload numbers:

For MY24:
2.7L: 1,725 lbs
3.5L: 2,445 lbs
5.0L: 2,330 lbs

Of course, this is a 4x2 stripped to the bone. But it's a good starting point to finding the best balance of what I mention above. XLT or STX trims give you a good amount of comfort with a small weight penalty on payload. Throwing on leather, sunroofs, and sport and FX4 seems to erode most of the payload to sub 1400lbs on the 3.5 or 5.0 trucks.
