We weighed everything today.
Truck and camper in sig: Truck without tailgate, 1/4 tank, no passengers. 8740 pounds. This was the tare weight I needed to DMV the truck. Unfortunately it didn't give individual axle weights and I...

The weights you all have posted in this thread don't surprise me for DRW trucks. Last time I weighed my '16 F350 SRW, it came in at 8,800 pounds loaded with the gear I haul around at all times.
Mind you, I haul around a lot more than most do, such as 3 bins of firewood at 75+ pounds each, an extra bin of tools at 125+ pounds, Honda 2000 generator, 20 lb CO2 tank, 2.5 lb propane tank, a 3 gallon gas tank, and a fire extinguisher mounted in the bed. The truck also came optioned with the camper package (the highest GVWR I could get), the 5th wheel prep, a canopy, and a bed mat. Also I can't forget the 50 gallon Titan fuel tank.
When I actually go out on a camping trip, there's an additional bin or two of firewood, two dogs, bikes and/or kayaks, 14 gallons of spare water, and sometimes a keg and large cooler that gets added to the mix, so I probably add up to another 600 pounds to the truck before hooking up my trailer that has about 1,200 pounds of tongue weight.
The funny part is I don't get much worse fuel mileage than my '96 7.3 F250 and the new truck levels out when I'm fully loaded; otherwise the rear of the truck sits higher than the front.
Here's a pic of the typical cargo load before I add in additional gear for a trip:
