how much does my truck weigh?(from the factory)

93 f150 xlt, 4x4, 4r70 auto, 5.0 v8, long bed, standard cab. power windows, locks, and lumbar. manual lock hubs and manual transfer case.
thanks

 

My 96 XLT 4.9/E4OD/6.5 bed/std cab is about 3900-4000#
Add 100-200# for the longer chassis, maybe 300-400# for the 4WD and T/C and call the engine/tranny differences even or lost in the other numbers and I'd guess your truck at 4500# give or take.

Drive it to a sand and gravel place (or a drag strip) and weigh it.

 

thank you. i was at the drap strip sunday because me and a buddy were gonna have a little race (before it was rained on) and we kinda argued about how much my truck weighed. i said i'd figure around 5000, and he said that it should weigh somewhere around 6000 and i was justt kinda wondering. i figured there was no way even with all the crap i have inside it that it could weigh 6000. i'll see what i can do to see about weighing it. thank you

 

It's the extended cab that really adds weight to these trucks. long bed vs. short bed is basically a little bit of thin gauge sheet metal, some light weight channel sections and a bit longer driveshaft. 4WD doesn't really add that much any more since the 1356 T/C is aluminum vs. the old NP205 and the 2WD TIB front suspension is already unbelievably heavy. 6000# is getting into F350 territory.

The newer trucks have upgraded load ratings and are much heavier than the 92-96.

 

alright. yea i was trying to see how he got 6000 lbs and the only thing i could find was that the GVWR was at around 6200 and i guess maybe he got that mixed up with the actual vehicle weight thats the only thing i can think of.

 

I think the previous 4500 lbs guess is probably very close from the factory, not including driver and without much fuel in it.

Might be a little lighter, like 4,400 lbs.

FWIW, bigger wheels and tires can add quite a bit of weight.

 

yea 4500 sounds pretty close because you can almost tell the truck doesnt have a whole lot of weight to it.

 

The Owner's manual for my 96 gives the following for an F-150 4x4 Regular Cab 5.0 V8 Automatic with 3.55 gears:

Max GCVR: 11,150
Max Trailer: 7100
Subtracting gives 4400#
There is no short bed/long bed distinction even though there is a known difference in weight.

So 4500# is "close enough for government work"

 

ok so you just basically subtract the max trailor weight rating from the gcvr? and that gives you the weight of the truck(or at least close to it)? i was looking through my owners manual a few times just trying to see what it would say but it only gave me trailor ratings and what not. thank you guys.

 

My 94 weighed in at 4540 if I remember right, that was with me in the cab so -200lbs and mine is around 4340lbs. It is a 94 F150 rec cab, long box, 300-6/5spd, 4X4, 2.5" of lift and 33X12.5X15 Kumho M/T's on AR Outlaw II's.

 

then that should be about what mine is without my crap inside it. i dont know whether the 300 is heavier or lighter than the 302? i think the 302 may be just a little bit heavier. so i'll just say its roughly around 4400lbs +/- a few lbs
thank you

 

The 302 is a bit heavier than his 300 and the 4R70W is also heavier than his 5 speed. Probably something on the order of 150# total. But his tires are probably heavier than yours.

 

yea my tires and wheels are real light. i've got 31x10.50 bridgestone dueler a/t's on the factory 15" rims(similar to the outlaw II's).
alright thanks for all the help guys

 

The vin number has a code for the weight of the truck. LMCTruck.com has a vin decoder. Here is the one for your truck.
