Hello all! I am in the process of calculating GVWR and GCWR for my 2015 F-250 Super Duty and decided to get an actual base curb weight at a Cat Scale. It is a 6.7 Power Stroke, Crew Cab / short bed.I weighed with a full tank of fuel and nothing else in the truck, not even myself in the truck. It came in at 8,071 pounds. Does that sound reasonable to anyone who has weighed similar? To try and Google the weight was all over the map.
You state 2015 truck, what have you added to it besides fuel? Do you have an in bed tool box,bed cover, or other items?
I will say this makes the 10,000# our 2016 Ram 3500 DRW weighs with DW, me, the 30# dog and a fairly full in bed tool box and hitch seem also reasonable.
The only way you will be able to tow a 5er of any size id ignore the 10,000# GVWR and got by GRAWR.Once you and DW and anything else in that truck you will likely be at 8,500# leaving 1,500# to GVWR.
