Figured this may be of interest to some here. I recently took my truck bed off to replace an in tank fuel pump. While it was off was a good time to pressure wash some 'hard to reach spots' and give things a look-see. When I was getting ready to put it back on I figured I'd weight it. I know some folks here have replaced the factory bed with aftermarket tray's, utility box beds, and other contraptions so a rough base line would be nice.
Truck is an 06 Dodge Ram 3500 with an 8' bed that had been sprayed with Line-X ~1/8-3/16" thick. This is with no tail lights, toolboxes, or any extra weight other than the Line-X.
I was surprised to see it only was 187#. I was expecting more. My scale maxes out at 440# and I expected an overload error as I thought it would be in the 500# range give or take. Sorry the pictures were taken in the bright of day and it's very hazy/humid here in August.
