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.

Well, looking at all that has transpired in this post I would strongly suggest that you now load up your truck with the hitch that you use, your wife any other stuff that you would be taking on a trip.
Now go to the scales and weigh it again and get the separate axle weights. This is the starting point for fighting if you have the tire capacity to carry the 5er you are looking at.
While your rear axle has a 6,100# rating, you have 7,500# of tire rating on the rear axle 3,750# X 2 = 7,500#, going by these numbers is your decision, only you know your comfort level. At least you are going in with known weights.
Right now you have 2,769# to reach the 6,100# . Just an FYI our 12,500# 5er has a 2,700# pin.
