Truck Bed Weight

The steel bed on my dually can't be more than 500#. I imagine your aluminum unit is a bit lighter? I was shocked at how not heavy it was.

You will save the weight of the sides but you will still need the weight for the flatbed. You can easily find the Ford specs. Weight savings is a bit less than 250#.

Four healthy average people can easily lift the stock bed off the truck. 100lbs is a struggle for most people, so I would estimate the weight of the bed at 400lbs or less. The custom flatbed is going to weigh significantly more.

That's been my guess and I don't want to rob cargo carrying capacity from what I already have with the standard bed.

1000# for an aluminum flatbed is rather high unless there are multiple tools boxes over and under .

I've been quoted by Alum-line that a flatbed with boxes under and on top would weigh about 1K#'s

That would qualify for multiple tool boxes , the flatbed alone would be half that weight

This is about as close as correct as you'll get I replaced my 8 foot rear bed on my Silverado dually and it took four of us to lift it and get it off. I would think about five hundred pounds.

I fail to understand all the guessing. It took me all of about 30 seconds to find the specs from Ford. Again, the weight difference in a bit under 250#.

Yet you have not stated what the actual weight of the box is, or your source. I've tried google and can find nothing but other speculation in other threads in other forums, let alone anything from Ford.

OP is looking for the ACTUAL weight of the box, not the difference and some nebulous claim that you found it on Ford's website.
