Does someone know how much a factory truck weighs
Trying to find a trailer to haul it and all I have is the factory GVW ( 6900 )

Thanks

 

A lot of it varies depending on how the truck is equipped. 2WD or 4x4 will make the biggest difference, as does the engine, but things like power brakes and power steering... you get my drift. I'd estimate it to be in the 5000lb range.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. this is a manual trans no power anything. 2wd. but it is a cs and 360v8

 

Okay, so at least high 4's is my guess.

 

Thank you so much for your help !

 

Fordification puts the curb weight of a base '67 F-250 styleside at 3815 lbs. 1967 Pickup Dimensions and Curb Weights - FORDification.com

I wouldn't think the extra capacity (and another year) would affect the curb weight much.

 

Thanks seems to be getting better. I have a 7000lb max car trailer and the drive is 900 miles one way. appreciate your help as well. Bought a 69 CS in Idaho and I live on the central coast of CA. Was tying to just have it shipped, but that transport business is full of BS experts....
Thanks for your help

 

I had my 68 CS shipped to SC from CA. Dealing with shippers was not fun. They damaged my truck, took longer than they said, etc, etc. You're doing the right thing by fetching it yourself. I would have if I could have.

 

Fordification also says my half ton is 3,400lb. It's not. It's 3,740lb on a full tank and that is very light. Most people's F100s are over 4,000lb.

 

thanks,
My trailer is goo for 7k should be ok

 

The everyday driving weight of my F-100 is 4200 gassed up with me in it. (I weigh about 140)

 

I wonder if Fordification is using factory published numbers. I have read that manufactures would often "massage" certain figures, like horsepower ratings, for various reasons. The number did seem a little low to me.

 

Mine with the 7.3 is 5200, so minus the extra 600 for the engine and stock should be about 4600 with the FE.

 

Is a 7.3L really 600lb more than an FE?

 

The 7.3 weighs 920lbs dry. Then it takes on 4.5 gallons of oil, 6 gallons of coolant and what ever accessories the truck needs.
