It's the engine and gearing plus options A lariat / platinum have really low payload and aren't really optioned well for towing at the max.

In most cases everyone runs out of payload and rear axle load rating before they get anywhere near the 10,500 receiver rating.

Let us not forget the wheels....

So my axel say 4050#. Does that mean the max load it can have over the axel is that amount?

Yes, but you need to go by payload. You will run out of payload before you hit the axle rating.

Thank you for the help

He should have the yellow payload sticker in the driver's door jamb.

Your truck only has 1531 lbs of payload because its a bloated whale with all/almost all of the options. Mine is the same way, 4x4 Lariat 502a Supercrew Max-tow and only 1539 lbs of payload. Had you bought a no option XL 2x4 it would have been much higher.

A recent trip to the dump confirmed almost to the pound Ford's numbers for my truck. My payload is right at 1535 pounds. Thanks all.

I cat scaled mine recently too and it was within about 20 lbs of the GVWR-Payload. I think ford Estimated 6161 lbs and my truck came in a 6140. This was with the Wrangler Duratracs, Airbags and Catch can installed and my sons car seat base in the back, but otherwise empty with a full tank of fuel.
