Seems over a 1000 lbs too heavy. Just how accurate is this scale? Most scrapyards will weigh you as you enter, then weigh you on the way out to see how much you dropped off, but are not very accurate at measuring the actual weight of the vehicle.

IIRC the excursions are supposed to be around 7200lbs? Few hundred more lbs for the diesel?

Isnt the maximum amount of weight in a ex, 8900? If that is true, that would only give u 300 pounds.

It'd be nice to know a little more about the Excursion he weighed as well. Like engine, drivetrain config, modifications etc. etc.

when I go to the dump my empty weight is 10k w/ ~1800lbs trailer & 1/2 tank of diesel, so according to their scales that puts me at 8200lbs. see sig for vehicle details...like 1 said the scales are designed to measure the difference in weight not the real weight of the "item" being weighed...

HAH! all that crap and you only added 540lbs not bad if you ask me.....you have a good looking truck, not my taste but it looks good. I want to do lift and wheels/tires just not "extreme".
