Other than that, read through the many truck weight threads. Mine comes in at about 7500#. 2002 7.3 CCSB 4x4

Nothing like that scale around here.
Maybe the local landfill site would weigh them?

Could try the landfill. Mine will weigh any vehicle for $5 but its not a certified scale.

DOT usually goes off GVW or weight you're registered at not curb weight around here.

There are tons of variables. Best to just weigh it yourself. For instance, tools, bumpers, wheels and tires.ld bet though that the two trucks in question should be within 500 lbs of each other. Really just a guess but problem 7,500-8,000. Mine is a cc lb dually 4x4 with bigger tires, bumpers, headache rack, and a small box in the bed and it weighs just under 9,500 without me in it. What's dot saying?

I got stopped and told I wasnt licensed right to be towing my car trailer and Bobcat.

They go by the combined weight the way he was explaining it , Im licensed for just over 11,000lbs but my combined unit would weigh out roughly at 16,500 lbs.

Bobcat is 6200 lbs , trailer is approx. 2500lb .

Looks like you've got some other stuff on the trailer as well so I'd add an extra 500lbs to your weight but I'd guess the truck at 8250 with about a quarter tank of fuel in it and not much in the cab.

I would have guessed that much weight too. You are right DOT goes by GVWR. The license weight covers truck, trailer and load. I weighed a truck like that last week.

At the top of this Forums page is a tab labeled 'Articles/Specs" under that is a link for "Specifications". There it will give you the weight as it came off the assembly line, but of course you need to add anything that wasn't factory. Good luck.
