It should be on your vehicle registration card.

I would not trust the vehicle registration. My '94 F250 has a scale weight of 4,630 lbs on the registration. I have weighed the truck at a grain elevator scale and a highway weigh station and it weighs about 5,200 with the only extras being some stuff in the glove box and stake hole hooks in the bed. I would estimate your truck to be fairly similar in weight to my pickup, but the only way to be sure is to weigh it.

My registration says 6000lbs and I've been told it is between 6000-7000lbs.

Conanski has a short bed if I am not mistaken, so I would say that your truck is a few hundred pounds heavier. It is definately not 6,000 pounds, my dad's '97 F250HD SC long bed 4x4 with the 460 is about 6,100.

It's got the 80" bed and it's an XLT with all the options so it's probably only a 100lbs or so lighter. There's no way an F150 weighs anywhere close to 6000lbs.

Looking at vintage Ford brochures-it seems that the SC weighs about 300 pounds more than the regular cab/short wheel base. And that the long box/long wheel base also adds about 300 pounds.

Everyone's truck has a different weight. A/C, automatic transmission, second fuel tank, which engine, all those things change weight. There are hundreds of different combinations. There is only one way to find out the weight of your truck: take it to a scale. Everything else you read in here is purely anecdotal.

Sounds like as a guestimation with my truck both tanks full with 33's 12.5 buckshots and me in it will be slightly over 5000

1995 F-150, regular cab, long bed, 302, 4x4, 4r70w auto tranny, 31x10.5x15 tires, cab steps, tool box. Comes in a 4720Lbs with me (165 lbs), 1 full tank of gas (~130lbs), 50-75lbs of stuff in tool box, 20lbs for tool box, so about 4330lbs by itself.
