Mine weighs 5080 with a half a tank of fuel.4X2 regular cab short bed. I hit a deer the other day at somewhere between 40 and 60 MPH and didn't feel it (except my pocketbook coughing up the deductable)

I know that in metric, 1 litre of water equals 1 kilogram.
If there is a 113 litre tank in the SCREW that would be 113 kilos, or approximately 248 lbs of fuel weight (assuming gasoline has the same weight/volume as water)
so Dzervit wins the prize for closest number of jellybeans in the jar.

That, alone, is around 280 pounds.

Water is about 8.33 lbs. per gallon and has a S.G. of 1.00 at sea level at 60F.
So a 30 Gal SCrew tank would hold 184.5 lbs. of gasoling, and the 35 Gal tanks would hold about 215.25 lbs.
Another text book lists the specific gravity of Gas to be .68, and this would make your truck weigh even less.
30 Gals = 169.8 lbs., and 35= 198.1 lbs.
Maybe that makes you feel better? Maybe not?

Let's not say 8 lbs. Specific gravity of pump gasoline is about .739 and therefore is much lighter than 8lbs.

Haven't weighed the new screw yet, But know it's lighter than my old Superduty that weighed in at just over 7500lbs
And honestly it doesn't really matter to me what it weighs, although you guys now have me curious. I'm sure with my Rhino liner, Weathergaurd toolbox, and me it's around 6000lbs. Might have to check that out someday
