FYI: According to the CAT scales, my 2013 F 350 Lariat CC DRW (fuel tank full - 37.5 gals) - (no driver or passenger) weighed in at exactly 8700 lbs. Add-ons include: Vent Visors, bug deflector, Rhino spray-in bed liner + rubber Ford bed mat.This truck also has the fifth wheel/gooseneck hook-up option & standard trailer hitch factory installed (no fifth wheel or gooseneck hardware was installed at time of weigh-in).

 

I wonder if it was the rubber mat. Those things are pretty heavy, ya know.

All that space-age technology in there, and it weighs as much as a 350 OBS with a Prius in the bed.

 

2004!!! I do believe that's the oldest resurrection I've seen yet!


For grins I weighed my truck on the local CAT scale...8800 lbs. 99 CC LB 4x4.

 

Well Tugly those Vent Visors and bug deflectors do add up as well.

Seriously though, how is it that this thread is 10 years old and now being resurrected.

FWIW my F250 with me in it and gear hits 7k on the scale.

 

If you use the bottom suggestions I am positive we can do better.

 

Without the rubber mats (but with the window visors and bug deflector), Stinky ('00 EC 4X4 with topper and driver) weighs 8000 pounds. I have an 800 pound carrying capacity - yea 3/4 ton?

 

Mine is over 10k with my mother-in-law! She is the crew in crew cab.

Who said that!

 

That my friend made my day!!!

i got several of these trucks,

88 f350 7.3 idi super cab, 4x4 long bed weighs just over 10k empty and without fuel. it weighs more with the 37.5 and humvee wheels and duallys. its a flying brick. it has a 3 inch by 14 inch c channel 1 inch thick for a goose neck, reinforced frame, this truck eats axles and spindle bearings every few months. i have 3 sets of tires and combinations i load up when on the road with spares. this truck will be getting modified and empty weight will be increasing to around 14k in the next few years.

88 f350 crew cab 2wd dually long bed 460 engine, weighs 7800 empty.

96 f250 2wd extended cab long bed weighs around 4500

90 f250 4x4 extended cab long bed weighs around 6800.

92 was a custom ford, spot truck, regular cab wide angle steer front axle. double frame, dually 4.10 rear axle, gear reduction, 460, huge goose neck/ 5th wheel mounts. weighed a **** ton. this truck was scraped, when gas went from $1 to $5 per gallon. there was no value in a 1 off ford custom.

i got a few more but you get the point, depending on configurations and modifications depends on much they weigh and it can very a lot so find a weigh scale and check. when i take my diesel in for a oil change they want to put it on the lift. when loaded i am at 16k. just remember if you're truck weighs more then a "typical" f350 that some lifts and jacks cannot handle the weight. that goes for "rural bridges" and crossings. I come across a lot of 10k rural bridges working across the country.

 

I weigh mine occasionally at work, last time was after I put the ranch hand on. With a clean cab/bed and a half full toolbox I weighed in at 8500#. Interested to know what I'll gross come hay season.

Also just realized this thread is quite the elder one

 

May be an old thread but a fun read for those of us that missed it the first time.

 

It might be a old thread but these trucks dont die. i know mine will be around for another decade or more. so these threads are helpful at times.
