Axle weight distribution

I know the only way to get an exact weight is to head to the scales. But, is there a general estimate or ratio of weight distribution over front/rear axles while empty for a F250 CC 4x4?

I weighed my truck with and without the camper and was surprised to find the truck, empty, was only a little below max weight on the front axle.

The Ford spec guide states the front and rear curb weight of each platform. Note these would be for a XL trim and no options. Mine listed in signature is 58% front, 42% rear. 6940 total when scaled last.

Here are the scale weights for my ‘22 F-350 CCLB 6.7 Platinum. Full tank (48 gal) and me (180#). That makes it about 59% front and 41% rear.

Takes 10 seconds to run it across a Cat scale. Download the App.

I figured out my truck has more payload than the sticker says.

We picked up the new truck 5 days ago. I'm just playing with nmbers until we have the B&W Turnoverball installed in a week and I can head to the scales.
