how much does your truck weigh?

2001 SB SC F250 V10 4x4, 1/2 tank of gas, weighs in at 6800 and change, call it 6900 lbs - I've gained weight since I had it weighed last at the scrap metal yard
That was without the cap/topper on the back.

If it were me, I'd check the truck at a real weigh station to see what it really weighs. A scrap metal yard isn't too concerned about how accurate the scale is. They are more concerned about the DIFFERENCE between when you go in and when you come out.
As in, if you weigh 500 lbs less than you did going in, that's 500 lbs in scrap metal. Doesn't matter if the scale says 8000lbs, or 9000lbs, or whatever, it's the difference between loaded and empty that they care about.

My 2008 F-450 King Ranch with tow package, tool box, me, full tank and no hitch in it weighs a certified 9,480 lbs. This is the 14,500 GVWR and the combined 33,000 lb set up (4.88 gears, tow command, tow package, DRW [I know it only comes DRW]). So the tongue weight is my limiting factor - with DW & dog in we can only have about a 4,800 lb tongue weight.

2001 F350 CC/LB V-10 with about 23 gallons of fuel and no tailgate weighed in at 6800 lbs. without me in it. Had to have it less then 7K here in California to save on registration.
Last week.....at an Oregon scale....2 adults...2 dogs and almost a full tank of fuel(38 gallons) weighed in at 7600 lbs.

My '11 was around 9200. That's when I weighed my camper and everything, went back unhooked to get the truck weight, Me, wife, dog, 2 kids (3 & 8), fifth wheel hitch, toolbox and all the stuff I carry around, which is pretty substantial. Granted, my family of 4 only weighs in at about 400lbs.
What I hate is that my truck is a 10K GVWR, so I'm probably overweight according to the law with virtually any trailer I attach.

The CAT scales said my truck weighs 7,220 lbs with myself at 220lbs and a full tank of gas.
Its a 2009 F250 SCAB XL 4x4 longbed model with 6.8L V10, AT, 17" OEM wheels and tires, WTW steps and a 5th wheel hitch in the bed.
Its GVWR is 9,600 lbs and Cargo capacity is 2,843 lbs.
So from the factory my truck weighs around 6,757 lbs.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
