That is the GVRW > max weight loaded

The truck itself weighs closer to 4000 lbs.

Harrison is just a simple F100 (no A/C, no power brakes, no power steering, no radio) and weighs in a little over 4000 pounds; I don't think the F250 is going to weigh 3000 pounds more is it?...

My 76 F-250 camper special weighs in at 5300 empty, checked it on the scales at the local landfill

GVRW is something like 8300
