A registered weight is good only in your state. Some states may require a different weight like a gvw or gvwr or even a gcw or so many pounds of laden weight or other states like mine have no weight for registering our trucks. Just axle/tires for safe/legal issues.
Like MFL is saying go by your trucks RAWR on the door post. Your F350 SRW may show a 7000 rawr or 6730 rawr or 6290 rawr. example; If the scale show your trucks rear axle weighs 3120 lbs then subtract that from your trucks rawr number. This tells you how much payload any truck has. Its just that easy/simple.
Always weigh the trucks front and rear axles separately. Easiest way is a CAT scale in your area. Front axles carry little to no hitch weight so pay attention to your trucks RAWR numbers for your safe/legal payload limits.
