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#.
Love to know where you found that info. I am a pretty darn good internet searcher and found nothing, hence my post.
Thanks,

Ford specs are readily available and turn up on a simple google search:

eagarant, he didn’t find the actual truck bed weight. It’s not shown specifically in that document. And from what can be gleaned from the ford Tech Specs, the closest comparison puts a bed delete truck at a bit over 400lbs lighter.
Jimk’s number that he didn’t get from any specific part of that manual is nowhere near right.
Regardless of whether he sits back and talks about how easy it is to find the number or not.
That said, who cares what it weighs, specifically?
Every 8’ truck bed I’ve lifted a corner of felt like around 400lbs and none have been duallies.
If you use 400-500lbs that’s close enough. Don’t fall into the trap of counting every hypothetical “can of beans” that goes into the camper.
If it’s slightly lighter than that, it doesn’t really make a difference. We’re talking + or - 100 to maybe 200lbs of subjectivity.
