She's a chunky gal! Certified scales, my F150 weighs 6,660#s with 180# driver and a full fuel tank + some mods.

[Suns_PSD]

Got my F150 on the scales yesterday with a full tank of fuel and my 180# sweaty carcass driving around.

The Truck is a Limited Powerboost, with a shell, 2.5" leveling kit and some heavier tires.

Front axle weight is 3,600#s and a RA weight is 3,060#s for a total weight of 6,660#s. Fun fact, my Lifted '99 F250 7.3 Powerstroke 4x4 Supercab weighed 6,200#s with driver and fuel.

Not sure really how this plays in to my stock, pretty low 'Combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed' (yellow doorjam sticker) 1363#s for towing purposes, since I don't have a realistic empty weight (can this be found online or otherwise?).

Thoughts?

Sure, she's chunky but she looks sexy the way I like.

Your remaining payload is 7350 - 6660 = 690

I say we use the new revised gimped GVWR of 7400! 7400-6660 = 740lbs. Now doesn’t that just feel better all round ?

Not if the BISG is still installed

Looks good! I have the same truck. What kind/size tires are they?

no idea, but not sure what else is different between 21-23s and the 24s. maybe those 300 lines of code saved some weight too, lol.

Wow! My 2021 weighed 5,480 lbs with a full tank and me (280 lbs at the time) in it on a CAT scale. That's crazy that your truck is 1,400 lbs. heavier and that's literally all payload as mine has a payload 1,906 lbs. Ouch.

Nice looking truck though!

I certainly believe you just curious where that number (7,350) comes from?

When traveling I'll drag my 2 girls (about 210#s), maybe 100#of coolers and food plus maybe 90#s in bikes and gear in the camper. This puts my weight up to 7,060#s only leaving me with 290#s of allowable tongue weight?

I guess what I'm trying to understand is the RV trailer I'm looking at weighs right at 5K#s, so 12% of that weight on the tonque is 600#s. For sure I'll run a WDH but that still puts me a solid 310#s over my truck's rated payload spreading the weight out nicely.

I'm not as sensitive to the entire weight thing as others are and I know the manufacturers have lots of leeway in their numbers. I also recognize that with my heavy SL rated tires and the WDH, plus a cautious driving style I'll be safe.

However, I'm still trying to understand where this 7,350# number comes from, and is that number assuming the worst-case scenario of not using a WDH and all of that weight be solely on the rear axle (and then some)?

Please advise and thank you.

BISG? I don't get it.

Look at the GVWR number on the sticker on your door panel.

Geez, what is the payload for that bad boy? 50lbs?

Tires are Falken AT4's 285/ 55R22s.

The truck also has a 2.5" leveling kit up front, .75" more in the rear, 1.25" hubcentric wheel spacers & some OEM style pocket fender flares that were painted to match as I don't like tires hanging out as it makes a mess of the truck.

In my opinion the truck has great presence on the road as it's a bit wider and stockier looking.
