Ford F-250 Base Curb Weight
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 ...

GCWR really means nothing in the grand scheme of things... Is your truck going to implode if you go #100, #1000 or more over the GCWR yet still under GVWR?? Dunno, but when it all comes down to the nuts and bolts of things, it's about your axle ratings, your tire ratings and wheel ratings that meets the road.. Also, how you feel towing whatever you are towing.. (if it sucks, then maybe you are overweight?? If you are comfortable, then maybe it's okay for YOU??)
Back in the day, we didn't have these "weight ratings" we have today, and just towed what worked... ha, ha... ya, sounds kinda stupid, but in the end, we really didn't do the whole Desi and Lucy in the "Long, Long Trailer" movie thing... ha, ha..
I know it's a different time now, and not the same as the "good ol' days".. but, the same physics apply I would think?
Don't know where I'm going with this.. But, just saying a bunch of "interweb goofs" is not going to tell you what will work or not work for YOU...
Good luck!
