Truck Weight

So on my way to work this morning, yes I know it's Sunday, I rolled across the scale at the local scrap yard.

2001 F250 Crew Cab, SWB, PSD, 4x4, 4R100, Coils spring conversion, Move front bumper, On Board Air. 1/2 tank fuel and driver

7920lbs

I'll get the front/rear at a later date.

Each time we take construction debris to the landfill for recycling or disposal, we weigh in and out.

The weight has always been right about 8,000 lbs.

2000 F250 SuperCab, SWB, PSD, 4X4, ZF6, newish leaf springs with traction bars and air bags, Ranch Hand grille guard, 265/75R16 Cooper tires, fuel varies with an auxiliary tank in bed and 75 gallon total capacity.

Thanks, we do things a little differently here in the UK, most things use metric measurements, except things like plywood boards, they're still 8ft by 4ft, we buy fuel in litres but measure it's use in mpg, all our road distances are in miles yet the road sign warning of for example a junction will be in metres, it's a f##ked up system for sure.

Haha, it's still a long way from being maxed out, but it's on the limit (actually over, but this weigh was for information purposes, I would normally not carry freshwater) for the 350 truck. The trailer maxes out at another 1400 kg or 3080lbs on the axles.
It tows just fine.

Last I checked, wheel diameter for tyre size is still in inches as well. The rest of Europe does not want to admit that either

And to stay on topic, I clock-in around 8,200#'s with just one person, some recovery gear in the cab (dumb suburban drivers get stuck in just 3" of snow), open bed (no cap), and full-ish tank for the SD. Have not had a chance to run the OBS over a set of scales yet.

Good point, although we/they did actually make some metric diameter wheels/tyres back in the 80's, talk about reinventing the wheel

My 2wd cab and chassis was down to around 6200 at one point with no driver and low on fuel. Had to get a Cat scale ticket for title and registration purposes in WA. After adding the hitches it is up to around 7500 with a full tank of fuel plus me and my tools and crap in it. Could shave around 150 lbs by switching to the aluminum wheels and lighter tires.
