Does anyone know the GVW (not GVWR) of an F350 Crew Cab Dually (2005)? I can find stickers on the truck and stats in the manual for the GVRW, but nothing for the weight of the truck itself.

 

look on the sticker on the drivers door.

 

I looked at the sticker, but all I see is GVWR and the load rating for the axels (GAWRs)...

 

I think you are looking for the actual weight. Drive thr truck across a scale for the true weight.

My old '99 CC V10 weighed about 6500 lbs with just me and 1/2 tank of gas. My current '05 CC PSD weighs about 8000 lbs with just me and 1/2 tank diesel. Both weighed at the dump scales, approx 2 years apart.

Actual weight - that's correct; that's was what I was looking for (vs. towing capacity, etc.). I was figuring as a last resort I'd locate a set of scales to check it. I was just wondering if anyone on the forums here happend to know the approximate weight. I'm willing to bet that it has got to be pretty close to your '05 diesel.

 

7134 lbs is the listed base curb weight for 2005 F350 CC DRW LB 4x4 6.8L/MT. It will be more than this with options, trim packages, etc.

 

My quoted weights above are actual from a scale, converted from kilograms ( *2.2=lbs). Both trucks Lariat CC's, similar equipment except for engine as described.

 

Awesome - thanks guys - I appreciate the feedback. I was curious as to the general range the weight was in and I think it is safe to say it is approx. 8000 pounds.

 

Morcutt, Congrats on a great truck! I have the exact same truck in White/tan!

Just for the record GVW and GVWR is the same thing. That may have been why is was hard for yoy to find the actual weight that way.

Redhawk44 termed it correctly - it's listed as "curb weight" - weight of vehicle w/o fuel or passengers. To which you add 8lb/gal for fuel, weight of people & tools/other junk usually carried. You can find specs here:

Only way to find out is to weight it. My '05 F350 V10 dually is about the lightest you'll find at a scale weight of about 6350.

 

base vehicle weight is known as net weight or curb. some states have it right on the truck title. My 97 250hd is a feather at only 4000lbs compared to yalls trucks. Jimbo

 

Curb weight it is then - I never realized that GVW and GVWR were the same thing. I did see a reference to curb weight on my vehicle registration (GA), but it's blank (figures...). It is interesting to see the wide range of weight in everyone's responses. I'll have to get this to a set of scales someday just to satisfy my curiosity.

PS - fomocofan: that's sounds like a great truck you have too!

 

My understandings:
Base Curb Weight: factory measured weight for a base vehicle configuration
Curb Weight: Base Curb Weight adjusted for vehicle options, can be measured or calculated from option weights
GVW: actual weight of vehicle in use. Changes as you drive and burn fuel, who's in the vehicle, payload, trailer tung/pin weight etc.
GVWR: the maximum GVW the engineers say vehicle is safe and durable with for constant use under reasonable conditions. This has some legal issues associated with it including insurance, drivers licenses, registrations and fines which vary with jurisdiction. This normally appears on a sticker on the door jamb.
Sometimes this is screwy, when for some years F250 and F350 SRW have almost identical equipment but different posted GVWR which affect the legal issues.
GCW: the actual weight of vehicle and any towed vehicles in use. Need to measure this.
GCWR: the suggested maximum GCW the engineers say vehicle is safe and durable with for constant use under reasonable conditions. Usually this isn't on a sticker but may appear in other literature. Currently in NC, you register trucks for the GCWR you want and so this becomes a legal issue. Again, details vary with jurisdiction.

GVWR and GCWR are what is "allowed". GVW and GCW are actual and really have to be measured. Curb weights are good estimates to look at to compare vehicles before you buy, with the fact in mind that normally real GVW will be higher than listed curb weight.

I wouldn't trust anything on a registration to represent actual weights.
