Real weights of an arctic Fox 1140?
Does anyone have any documented ready to use weights? I have a 2008 crew cab duramax dually I know I am going to be "over" the 11,400 gvwr but how far is the real question?

But the F350's are actually better at hauling, at least if you care about the official GVWR. ... In the case of Ford, it cost you almost 1,000 lbs.
Obviously, some of us disagree that the F350 is a better TC hauler (see the recent thread.) ;) It does have higher rated payload capacity in pickup model. By your chart by 100 lbs which isn't significant. Also, that year F450 model didn't have 19.5s.
In any case, I think I've shown the true engine/transmission weight difference has to be less than 500 according to their chart. Also, true that the GVWR can be more.
It would make more sense to just have a FAWR and RAWR, but the manufacturers don't seem to be listening to us. :) Well, my F450 only lists FAWR and RAWR in the door. As others have pointed out, there seems to be more in play besides actual maximums.
