My truck is an '01, reg cab, long bed, 2wd with the 4.6. I've been wondering if there would be much of a difference in quickness if it were a short bed

Thanks!

 

The old wives tale is 100 lbs adds 1/10th to the quarter mile time.

The short bed weighs about 100 lbs less so, in theory it would be 1/10th quicker.

Not enough to keep you awake nights.

 

Thanks man!

 

think the long bed is more then a 100 lbs heavier.....the frame is longer isnt it?

 

Cabs are identical.
From the rear axle back is identical.
Visualize cutting out 18 inch section of the bed before the wheelwells straight across.
What have you got?
Two 18" pieces of frame, 18" of drive shaft, some brake line, foot and a half of bed floor and walls, five gallon portion of a plastic gas tank and some exhaust pipe.

The spec sheet actually listed at less than 100, I rounded up a bit.

 

roughly how much do our trucks weight anyway? i have no idea. can someone let me know how much mine would weigh? see sig for details.

 

4500 pounds just a geuss.

i know my truck weighs over 5500 pretty easily. but i have alot done to it.

 

I can only imagine what the fx4 5.4 supercrew would weigh. worse gas milage than my screw 2wd I do konw what

 

owners manual has exact curb weights for all engine/bed/cab combos
