I don't think so.Fords advertised number (330 I think) on the F-150 lighting is with 1k payload as they claim this is the most common use case for a truck and did not want customers guessing when buying a truck.
I think that's a rumor that was started by a Youtuber. He guessed that.
Articles picked it up but never have they quoted any source from Ford.
More importantly no documentation from Ford has ever said it that I know of and with the vehicle about to be delivered you'd think they would advertise that since it is such a great thing.
EPA estimates are not done with a load.
The EPA estimates that Ford provided them and were for ranges of 230 and 300 miles depending on battery pack chosen.
The official EPA range now that has been approved by Ford is for 230 and 320 miles.
I asked everyone that repeated that 1000 lb payload rumor if they saw anything from Ford indicating that and not one could provide any Ford source.
I could be wrong and if you have a link to Ford officially indicating the range with a 1000 lb payload I'd like to see it. Not some Youtuber.
I think you've been given misinformation.
Here's a link to the official specs posted by Ford when first released.

Page 2 Targeted EPA Range: 230 and 300 miles. Nothing about a 1000 lb payload

Here's a link to a media release from Ford this March 21, 2022 where they state the official EPA ratings. Nothing about a 1000 lb payload aand as I stated before EPA ratings are not done with a payload.
