Real weights of an arctic Fox 1140?

I have an '06 chevy dually with a 6.6 duramax, allison tranny and I have air bags and load stops and I run a superhitch with a 44" truss.

I need to update my avitar seeings that truck in picture was totaled by a DD but it's basically the same truck and running gear.

I almost want to say I tipped the scales one time at 14,200# and I always have the truck in tow haul when camper is on, sometimes I put a rack on the back and haul a propane 3500W generator.

I tow a buddy's 21' thunderjet and with the camper on you know your hauling something.

Grit,

That spec sheet is for '13 model year fords. I believe the new f450's have s110 now not that I do not agree that a Dana 80 is pretty bullet proof...but it makes that 450 up charge a little easier to justify.

I'm laughing here as I'm a solid 5-6 years from a new truck and who know where we will be In that time frame...lol

Ha, I keep thinking about a new truck, but mine hasn't given me a good reason yet...
In less than 3 years, my oldest will get one or the other as a birthday present. An old clapped out Dodge pickup, or a srt8 charger with a butt load of miles. Both are well over 100k now and aren't giving me cause to replace them. I'm going to go knock on wood now...
Honestly I'm waiting for the 5th gen Rams, 2nd year, so that'll be about 4 years out.
8 speed ZF trans and 1000ft lbs that sips def as gingerly as it sips fuel would be nice.

I'd buy you a beer, we think alike! My oldest is 11 so I'm 5-6 years out and my truck just turned 90k. I put brakes and a water pump on it! I know my trans will need a VB in the next 10-20k and I could kill it in three minutes if I crank up my tuner...

But 5th gen sound exciting! It would be nice to feel 1000 lbs of torque without backing off to save the trans! I felt my Toruqe converter shutter today rolling into the throttle with just my boat coming out of a corner....sigh, I don't want to write a $5500 check but......it would be fun to hit the wood with a load just once!

For what it's worth my dually diesel is 8900 on the scales and when I have water, diesel and propane (and everything else) loaded the 1150 runs that up to 13,600 so I'm at 4700#'s at the highest I've seen.

You gotta light one!
I've never weighed either of my 860s, but the 03 model I have now "feels" a tad lighter than the 05 I had, although that may be just because it's easier to load without the extra width in the truck box.

Yay, back on the original question!!

For the tiny tiny difference in purchase price of the F250 versus the F350SRW, it is far better to get the F350SRW, instead of the F250. Same goes for the GM and Dodge 2500 versus 3500SRW.

Trucks these days are $50,000-$80,000 new. The extra measily $500 for the one-ton SRW versus the 3/4-ton is mere peanut crumbs, in the scheme of things. Buy the right truck from the get-go!

Have you been on a dealer lot recently? A large dealer may have a dozen 2500's on the lot, and maybe ONE 3500 SRW. In "fleet truck" trim, meaning lily white, crank windows, puke-on floors, vinyl seats, regular cab...

I've sat here for years and read you guys saying, "Just get a 3500 SRW," but they simply aren't out there! The only way to get one is to order one.

If you want a truck *NOW* you are stuck with a 2500.

If one can arrange delivery or make the trip to Texas... Plenty of 3500 SRWs and DRWs.

The Ford 10.50" and Dana 80 axles are not being used in the '17 Fords, if I remember the article correctly that someone posted here recently. The Ford 10.50" in the F250/350SRW has been replaced by a new Dana M275 axle and the Dana 80 in the F350DRW has been replaced by a new Dana M300 axle, from my understanding.

The F450 pickup when it first came out in 2008 used the Dana S110 rear axle, wide track front axle, and 19.5" wheels, until 2010.

Then it was downgraded to using a Dana 80 rear axle, standard width front axle and 17" wheels. So it wasn't appreciably different than an F350DRW during those years.

Recently, I think 2015?, it was upgraded back the Dana S-series rear axle, wide track front axle and 19.5" wheels.

For all years of the F450 pickup, it has only been available as a crew cab, with the diesel engine, automatic transmission, and upper trim level packages, so far as I can recall.
