my last dump scales receipt shows 4100 with both rear sears removed and 1/4 tank of gas minus mini me.
I've been over 5,500 with 2 people, 300lb hitch load and full load of camping vacation gear

I have a 1993 Ford Aerostar XL extended E4WD, and the sticker in the driver's door frame says 5,300 lbs. My particular van may be a few hundred lbs heavier cuz it's a handicap van (handicap lift and raised roof). Sure is a sweet van, handles very well and decent on gas for a van of it's size. (and this is before a tuneup which will be done on Thursday). Anywayz, hope that helps ya.

A 7000# axle dont weigh 7000#'s but thats it's max capacity. Thanks all for the info. I went with 4100#'s . Thats 1.86 GT. They are paying $95 GT witch comes to $177.05 so I offered him $180. RB
Good to know it's capable of hauling a lot of cargo. Thanks for the correction.
