Tool/service truck (F-550 conversion) weighs ~9600 lbs with empty bed, 1/4-1/2 tank. CC, 4x4, LB, auto, DRW, all steel 14ply tires, cloth manual int.
The F-350s weigh in at 8600 and 8900, 1/4-1/2 tank, empty aux tank. Both CC, LB, DRW, 4x4 auto, cloth manual int. One gooseneck, one not. One has all steel belted tires, which easily weigh twice as much as typical light truck poly/nylon tires, thats about the difference.
Car used to weigh ~3600 lbs I guess, and the bike weighs 430 lbs. Simple things as cloth or leather and power seats make a bigger difference than you might think. Replacing the leather power seats in my car with manual cloth saved 94 lbs. Things such as which style front bumper mounts you have also effect weight, and nobody ever thinks to consider it. I have the open end style, BTW.

It tipped the scales at 7760lbs (4400lbs front, 3360lbs rear) the last time I weighed in at my local moving company (they do it for free if I don't need it certified) . Bone stock (CC, SB, 4x4, 265/76-16 tires), full tank, no pax and an empty bed (except for my fiberglass tonneau).
