2023 PB 501a 4x4 short bed 7.2KW. PL=1658lbs.
Sweet! Looks like they're actually giving a little more credit for the HSW delete. Crazy that the lariat has fewer features than my 22 XLT. The assist 2.0 and 360 cams are the way to go, and of course that 7.2kW gen is the only way to get the PB. You'll love the truck :)
HSW?

Just got my payload numbers last night via the towing calculator on the, my vehicle dashboard, on Ford.com (you have to create an account). If yours works as mine did, this will be available to you more or less immediately after build but well before shipping.

1658lbs.. Exactly what EricR's came to.

2023, 501a, PB, 4x4, SB, 7.2KW, tow, nav, 360.

The towing calculator is pretty nice. It lets you add passenger weight, accessories and cargo, then spits out your custom, max tongue and trailer weights.

For us, that will be ~375lbs. of passengers, including a day bag of drinks and snacks, phones, laptops etc. ~250lbs. of planned accessories including WDH and ~100lbs. in common tools I usually carry, resulting in an available max tongue weight of 933lbs. and max trailer weight of 9330.

This should work out very well.
By the way, this is 10 lbs. shy of what I'd calculated by going through the build books and weights members had listed, totaling up the options and subtracting from the base payload of 1830lbs.

So, not perfect but pretty darn close, even as those books and component weights are incomplete and some assumptions were required.

It'd be interesting to see what the same truck in 502a (with the now required 20" wheels) would yield.

If you drill down further into the F150 marketing pages, the first picture is a Platinum PB FX4, also shown next to an Airstream. Not likely. Maybe they're visiting their camping friends?
1100lb. tongue weight. 50lb. WDH. 95lb. grandma. 5lb. Yorkie and absolutely nothing else. Easy Peasy
