Lance 992 Actual Weight?

I think you might want to take your truck and get it weighed. You can not rely on the info Ford publishes. I had a 2011 6.2 F350 with the max GVWR of 11200#. I have a 2012 10 2CDSE Northern Lite and I was over my GVWR by about 500#. This was with a camper loaded weighed a little under 3820#. I think you will be surprised that you are going to be over the GVWR.

Take a look at Truck Camper Magazine Buyers Guide

They show that camper when loaded will be 4385#.

This is the weight slips from my 2011 F350 CC 4X4

Total empty weight 7740#
Front Axle 4400#
Rear Axle 3340#

With the camper on it

Total weight 11560#
Front Axle 4460#
Rear Axle 7080#

This is without anyone in the truck. So I was over weight by 360#. Not to bad but I was over my rear axle by 80#. This is with a camper that weighs 3820#. You are talking at least another 500# of weight so you are going to be will over your GVWR.

You may want to get an actual weight on you truck before making a very big mistake IMO.

I have already weighed my truck, and I will be over the GVWR. However, I plan to upgrade the wheels to 19.5" with 4500 lbs capacity each and the tires to the same 4500 lbs capacity each. Weight of my rear axle at the scales was only 3000 lbs with the truck empty and a full tank of gas. Based on lots of research, and reading many similar conversations on this website, I am ok with exceeding the GVWR a little, after I beef up the wheels, tires, and rear suspension.

I appreciate the feedback, but I hope this thread doesn't turn into another with people telling me I MUST have a dually. Just looking for anyone that has actually weighed a 992.

I will check out the Lance owners site. Thanks for that recommendation.
