Speaking of weight of these trucks, right after I got my truck I was looking at a 4WD magazine and they had a new 6.0 superduty CC SB 4x4, they were doing an article on deisel performance and said that their truck weighed in at around 11k lbs,,,,,,,,,,,,yeah 11,000 lbs? I wonder were they got their truck weight from?

04 F250 CC Fx4; short bed; auto tranny
Weighed mine 4/24/04 on certified scales where I work. I had a full tank of fuel. I have a fold a cover and under same had 6 gallons spare diesel + about 100 lbs of spare tools in cargo box I carry.
Actual weight w/o any passengers (or driver).
Front: 4460 lbs.
Rear: 3080 lbs.
Total 7540 lbs.
My son-in-law's truck is the same except he doesn't have the power sliding window, the camper package, or the Fold-A-Cover.
I don't remember his actual weight (on commercial scales locally) but he was within a couple hundred pounds of my truck; I think he had more junk in the bed.
Both trucks:
GVWR rating of 8800 lbs.
Rear GAWR rating of 6084 lbs.
My truck:
Front GAWR rating of 5200 lbs. (camper package)
His truck:
Front GAWR rating of 4800 lbs. (no camper package)
I don't know if the higher rated front springs weigh any more; but the camper package includes the rear 'sway' or anti-roll bar which probably adds another 40-50 lbs.
