Mine is showing in the payload calculator as well. My guess is that they know what every component weighs so maybe it's estimating?

Kind of dissapointed with my payload of 1477 (lightly optioned PB Lariat 502A Sport, no sunroof, no power tailgate) . What's your build?
I’m at 1378# ... Lariat PB short box, loaded but no FX4 ... i’ll get near this with 4 passengers, 3 dirt bikes in bed, and gear

I have never bought a custom vehicle before.
My truck was invoiced 10/19
Blend is 10/29
What does ‘blend’ actually mean?
What am I looking for in ‘modules’?
It will take me about 2 weeks to buy out my BMW and re-register (I will talk to my local BMW to discuss possible sale options this week)
Bottom line- I need about 2-3 weeks lead time before closing on the truck deal.

Blend =your truck starts on assembly line.

I’d ask you dealer current ETA. I’m a 10/30 build with a 11/15’ish ETA ... Dearborn build, iowa dealer(granger) showing convoy vs rail (could change?)

☹Through my reading- multiple post said each truck was actually weighed and the yellow sticker generated.
In reality, it appears payload is calculated. Makes sense, a computer database should be able to determine the final weight. So if is calculated, that same data should be available to the consumer or at least the dealer. For many, the information is critical to a good buying decision.
I reviewed over a dozen window and yellow sticker combos. The most elusive option weights were actual bed utility (my estimate was 50#) and 18” vs 20” wheel tire combos.
My estimate was 1782-1814#. VIN calculator says 1787#. Pretty close😉.

Edit: Activate button for truck showed up on ford app.

If you go to the tracker on this site, hit the "View Modules" link, enter your VIN and type security code in.

If you have modules, they will show up in the table on the web page below the downloaded file link. You don’t have to download the file.

If you do download the file you can change the extension to .xml and then your browser will open it.

I am still ’in production’, but the second round button in now completely clear. Blend supposedly 10/29.
No modules.

what is ‘Activate button for truck showed up on ford app.’?

It’s the button that communicates with your truck to FordPass. Handles all your features once the truck is delivered. When your truck is completed you should be able to hit it and it will say activation pending. Can’t completely activate it until you get your truck

Does that mean the vehicle is basically completed? My blend date was yesterday…I see a long list of modules and I also have the “activate” link on FordPass. I do not have an estimated delivery date.
