Does anyone out there know the exact weight of their truck? I've been trying to find out the weight of my truck. Various brochures from Ford put the weight anywhere from 4,400 to 5,200. But I want a little more exact than that. I'm about ready to find a scale somewhere. BTW: Here's what I've got. 99 Lariat, 4x2, supercab, flareside, and 5.4L (I figure the other options don't effect the weight that much).


------------------
1999 Lariat SuperCab Flareside, Amazon Green with Silver trim, 5.4L, 4x2, 4 wheel disc/ABS, 3.55 limited slip, towing package, fog lamps, sliding rear window, captains chairs, keyless entry with alarm, spray-on bed liner, bug guard, and K&N. http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~bfriesen/truck.html

 

As have others, I have used the local landfill/dump, not real accurate but probably within 5%, the truck weighing stations on the Interstates, more accurate, but you have to talk nice to the Troopers to let you do it and a local heavy truck dealership (Navistar) who have to weigh out various combinations for fleet owners. Most good truck stops on the major Interstates also have scales, but you have to pay to get it weighed.
Hope that helps.
PS: I have found reading the literature and the stuff on your door sticker to be less than accurate by a bunch.

I went to a Public Scale in town and paid to get it weighed ($10).
I came in right at 6700 with family and a full tank of gasoline. I needed to know the weight before I bought my trailer. If you are going to tow, you need to know.

------------------
1999 F-250 XLT Super Duty Crew Cab Long Bed
V-10, Automatic 4R100, 4.30 Limited Slip.
GVW = 6700# Towing Capacity = 13,300#
4 Wheel ABS disks + Reese 15K hitch
Dark Hunter Green. Ford Running Boards.
Grey Rhino-Liner. Captain's Chairs. CD+Tape
Polished Stainless Steel Wheel-well Molding http://members.home.net/jchartier/jnctrk.html

 

I have a 98XLT SC with the 4.2L and I weighed out at 4680 on a scale at the local trucking yard. I would assume it's pretty accurate within 2 to 4 percent. That was me and a full tank of gas, I weigh 200 and 25 gallons of gas at 8lbs per gallon estimate 4200 lbs plus or minus 2 to 4 percent. This was pre tonneau cover.

Andthensometoo,
I beg to differ about the heaviest truck there... I think my 4X4 with cap has got you beat in that department.
After seeing some of the vehicles that made runs, I don't think I'll be so apprensive about runnin' my big 'ol 4X.
I'll be looking forward to seeing my truck on your web site in the future so thanks in advance for taking pictures.

junk yard? I don't think so...to many chevy's and dodges in there...spooky place!

O.K. all who weighs more? Keep in mind my post in the thread "What's in your cab?"

No Jim, Your trucks not on a page yet, I'm still working on the background.

 

OK,

4500 lbs "live weight" even on a certified scale with 1/2 tank of gas and me out of the truck. Signature below and keep in mind I have a Supercab.
