Depends on the engine, trans, 2/4WD, & other options, but ROUGHLY the GVWR (#7) minus the Total Reserve capacity (#25).



If you have a salvage yard or LARGE truck stop nearby, you can probably use their drive-on scale. Just tell them you DON'T need a weight ticket - you only want to know the weight. They charge a few bucks for a printed certified weight slip.

Roughly around 3 tons. Automatic adds weight, 4wd adds weight.

Like people, vehicles tend to get heavier with age. Stuff accumulates in the cab, grime builds up on the frame, ect.

If there's more than 3 pounds of dirt in the frame, it would be falling off in your driveway. Likewise, I doubt anyone would put up with more than a couple of pounds of **** in a pickup cab before they threw a few handfuls out.

Back when I carried ~100' of chains in both of my homebuilt bumpers & enough tools in the back to build a truck, my Bronco weighed almost exactly 3 tons. (I was in construction, so I had to drive over certified scales occasionally.) I'd expect a normal '80-96 F150 to weigh less than 2.5T.

My 2005 F-250 4x4, long bed reg. cab. weighs 5680 with about 1/2 a tank of gas. I dont remember how much my F-150 weighed but i think it was below 5,000 pounds. Some states will have the actual vehicle weight printed on the title or registration.

The paperwork that came with my 96 regular cab, short bed, 300, E4OD 2WD put it at right around 4100. With a manual tranny, I'd expect it to be right at 4000. Everything else is heavier.

Depending on how much gas is in the tanks mine is in the 4800-4900 range driving weight. With the hitch, toolbox filled with tools tow rope and other assorted things, spare etc.

Reg cab, long bed, 2wd, 302, AOD

The last time that I weighed my 94 F150 reg cab, long box, 300-6/5spd 4X4 with 33X12.5X15 Kumho M/T's on 15X8 A/R OutlawII's, the truck has about 1/4 and 3/4 tanks of fuel, a tool box with 2 chains, a chain saw and misc junk. With me in the truck it weighed in at 4800 lbs, so -200lbs for me and the truck weighed 4600lbs.
