5800+ pound truck???
I went to the dump today and they weight your truck when you go in (with stuff) and on the way out (empty)
On my way out, I asked the lady to tell my what the scale read and it read 5800 pounds. I was like WTF?
I have a FX4 Crewcab. Is this correct for others?

Uhhhh... what rock have you been living under? Read any article about the truck, look at your door jamb, read a post, etc...
The 4x4 screws loaded with goodies are nearly 3-tons w/o people or gear.

My tires say 35 lbs.
I picked up my spare and I know damn well it weighed at least 70 lbs.

I'm sure mine is around there, with line-x, Ford bed mat, Retrax, loaded tool box, and a 270 lb. driver....

That, alone, is around 280 pounds.

Not really a good point. Screws like his can't hold 35 gallons. That's for regulars and scabs... it's more like 240 lbs, max.
