I need to know how much a 4 wheel drive extended aero with the 4.0L weighs. I bought one at scrap value and need to pay the guy. Thanks RB

 

I think a little over 2 tons (4015 lbs listed in a magazine)

 

my last dump scales receipt shows 4100 with both rear sears removed and 1/4 tank of gas minus mini me.

I've been over 5,500 with 2 people, 300lb hitch load and full load of camping vacation gear

 

I have a 1993 Ford Aerostar XL extended E4WD, and the sticker in the driver's door frame says 5,300 lbs. My particular van may be a few hundred lbs heavier cuz it's a handicap van (handicap lift and raised roof). Sure is a sweet van, handles very well and decent on gas for a van of it's size. (and this is before a tuneup which will be done on Thursday). Anywayz, hope that helps ya.

 

The 5,300 is what it can weigh max with cargo. That weight is listed individually for the front and rear axles too. It's like the listing for trailer axles. A 7000# axle dont weigh 7000#'s but thats it's max capacity. Thanks all for the info. I went with 4100#'s . Thats 1.86 GT. They are paying $95 GT witch comes to $177.05 so I offered him $180. RB

 

That the exact salvage value of another extended 4wd Aero I saw at a local scrap yard. Too bad I didn't have the space to hold on to it; it looked to be in good shape.

 

Oh ok, I see. I misunderstood that when I read it off the door. Makes perfect sense. I thought that was kind of heavy for it. Good to know it's capable of hauling a lot of cargo. Thanks for the correction.
