Guess the best way to find out would be to go directly to one of the factories and see ...huh!
Thanks any way

In my mind you are questioning the number that is a "Fixed/known" one. The weight of the truck.
The real question is usually...how do the manufacturer determine the GVWR number?? This is the one that changes with application of magic pixie dust in some cases. :W
The weight of the truck they list is really the "empty" weight as it leaves the factory based on standard equipment.
Way back when I ordered my truck, we had a chart that shower 3 figures for every individual option (even tutone paint)
It went something like ......
total weight/front axle weight/rear axle weight.
A rear bumper for instance was an option and would lower front axle, increase rear and total weight.
It was so absurd back then cause every F250 had the same GVWR of 8800 lbs.
So a reg cab 4x2 5.4 gas had payload of about 4500 lbs but a Crewcab 4x4 diesel only had about 1800 lbs!
No wonder folks questioned the numbers.
