Uhhh.... well this kind of depends. Lots of things are different from year to year and model. Supercab, standard cab, 4cyl, 6cyl, 4x2, 4x4.

In general I believe they weigh between 3000lbs to 3800+lbs. I want to say that my 88' 2.3L Supercab is listed at 3400lbs. Eitherway, you are kind of pushing it with a limit of 3500.

Woohoo.... I just noticed this is my 400th post.

My 1998 regular cab, 3.0L, 4x4, weighs in at a big ol 4050. I couldn't belive it weighed that much. Seems like a lot for such a small little truck i'm not sure that your going to have much luck finding one less than 3500. Maybe a total stripper model, regular cab, with 2wd and a 4cyl. But I dunno. It'll be close.

2000 XLT S/C 4x2 w/3.0 engine. I took the time a while back to figure out mine and it came out like this:

GVWR = 4800#
Curb WT = 3540#

Payload = 1260#

Will have to agree w/other posters, you are in the "red" zone, again depending on the model and type vehicle you have.
