2021 Ford F150 Tremor Payload & Towing Specs

Haven’t seen any updates here for awhile.
402a, Torsen, Lockable Storage, trailer tow, and Bed utility. The power tailgate is heavy. Also adding a bed liner and Bakflip tonneau so I’ll lose another 100 lbs.

That power tailgate and lockable storage is 47 pounds. With them being the only difference in our trucks.
 
I wouldn't go with that big of a drop unless you are really lifting your truck. A 4" drop is more than enough on my Raptor with a 1.5" lifted rear end on 35" tires. I run a small utility trailer, boat trailer and a flat bed trailer and never needed to drop if down more than half to get the trailer level. You'll just have a huge shank hanging down that can be problematic on steep driveways.

As far a tongue weight, it's more of a nice to have with static loads like the boat. You literally have no way to adjust to load bias. If you have cargo trailers, they can be useful to help ensure you have the right load balance.
A little old but figured I’d add my experience for anyone searching. I am running a 6” drop on a 2.5” RC level and it’s way too much when the truck is loaded. The calcs for drop were done while the truck was unloaded. I’m going to get an adjustable to fine tune things.

Also was wondering if anyone could comment on me using max payload with my existing level kit. I have concrete to pickup and was a bit concerned.

Previously towed 1000# payload plus 6x12 utility trailer with a small load (not sure on tongue wt) no issue.

It really comes down to your trailer. I have the 5" B&W 3 ball hitch and it works great for both my two boat trailers and my small utility trailer. Fully adjustable obviously though.

You are fine to load to max payload but you will look squatted being leveled like that. The springs are super soft and seem very liner to me. I actually just emailed Deaver yesterday morning to see about a replacement leaf pack with a more progressive spring rate. I have the Halo adjustable set to give me roughly 1.75" of lift in the front and I sit basically level with my Grady White on the trailer so once we load up to head to the beach it's overly squatting.

This is just under 800# in the bed for reference, it's clear why Ford sets the Tremor up with so much rake from the factory when the leaf pack is so soft.

The only thing I would recommend to stop the squat would be RAS or airbags, they both add support to the rear end the RAS also offers better stability as well.
