06 F250 weight

Hello all - I am looking for the basic weight range of an 06 F250 as I am not able to get to a scale to weigh mine for week or so and the wife has found a fifth-wheel she likes so I am trying to figure what my pin weight can be.

I have an 06 F250XLT 6.0 PSD supercab shortbox.

Thanks

8000-8500# with two people, full tank, some odd ends. I'm at 8300# without people, SC/SB 6.0.

Thanks Bryan. Looks like around a 1500# pin weight to keep it under 9800. I'd be a little over that so may need to add some airbags.

I would never have thought it was that heavy.

They are, especially the Power Strokes. Those are not lightweight engines and these are not lightweight trucks.

This is why I just shake my head every time someone complains about fuel economy. With a truck in the same zip code as "4 TONS" yes, the fuel mileage will suck.

Redford,
I was shocked about the MPG I thought
for sure it would be lower. But 21.5
empty on level freeway and 15 around town.
2006 F30 6.0L Not towing yet. No big lift
or monster tires. Stock gears
