Weighing is the ONLY way to know for sure, the spec sheets you see are just darn good guesses, it varies with so called identical trucks.

Someone is confusing Curb Weight with GVWR. Of course GVWR is not even that high.

Edit: Just realized your truck in your sig is F250. GVWR would be about 8800lbs and Curb Weight with a Diesel would be about 6000.

The only truck that light is a 2wd reg cab F150 everything else is heavier. My extended cab 4x4 is just a hair under 5000lbs on the local dump scales.

My 96' 351W 4x4 ext cab short bed with E4OD weighed in at 5240 at the recycling center, me not in it, both tanks at about 1/4. There was probably about 80 pounds of random stuff inside it.
