try this ,there is a vehicle comparison feature[will compare ford to ford or will compare to other makes], here is more detailed location ,http://www.fordvehicles.com/trucks/eseries/compare ,if that doesnt get you there ,google ,ford van,weight comparison, its the 4th or 5th item on the list[look for www.fordvehicles] ,you may then have to enter specific vehicle info ,ie., 150 xlt etc, and yes you are correct there is no longer a 250 series[3/4 ton] in the club wagon series for 06', there still is a regular e 250[3/4 ton]available in both regular and extended body. also while on the subject of load capacities, the designation of 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton does not in fact refer to the actual load capacity of the truck in question as for example the 1/2 is rated to carry near or above 2000#, the 1ton rating is in the neighborhood of 4000#[both these #'s are for standard econoline series just for illustration purpose], probably the most limiting factor in this area is tire capability and correct selection thereof......

Finally found it. First, I'm amazed it was so hard to get to even following you lead. Second, your right Ford does list the weights difference for 2006 as being almost 1000lbs. I never would have believed it. Now I have to go check the curb weight on my 2004. I'm still happy with the 12 passenger van (I carry 10 on a regular basis) and I just got 15 mpg on a 600 mile trip through Tennessee/Georgia mountains at 70-75 mph.
