Got mine weighed before we did the atlas progressive leaf springs. '92 F-350 crewcab longbed 4x4. 460 gas, 5-speed. 37" Falken Wildpeaks on Trailready beadlocks. 4wc Keystone pop-up. Fullsize spare on custom mount, Warn M10000 winch and bumper. Three Odyssey AGM batteries, Vision-X leds, tools, floorjack, supplies, solar panel, roof rack = 8680 lbs. Not sure how much fuel was on board.

2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD Classic SLT 6.0L:
Before my SAS i had: full 1/4" skid plates and rock sliders, 2 batteries, 33" tires steel wheels, steel roof rack, new rear sub (inside original frame rails) frame with 30g blazer fuel tank, steel front (arb) and rear (homemade) bumpers and M8274 winch up front and some accessories. With 2 people and off road gear (100 lbs) truck came out to 8200 lbs.
Updates from then, Corp. 14 bolt/D60 hybrid front axle, coilovers, NV4500 and NP261 (same weight as original np263) swap, and H1 24 bolt wheels and 37" tires (150 a piece at least). I guesstimate weight real close to 9000 lbs. That being said the sprung weight has not changed much.
With eventual cummins 12V swap probably more toward 9500 lbs...
Fullsize 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks are heavy, add that to the fact that steel is much easier to fab than aluminum and the weight piles on quick.
Cheers,

i need to get a current weight, but last time I clocked in at the dump for an empty weight it was right around 4750 with me in it and ~18 gallons of fuel. I weigh about 185. I've since added a shell, but dropped a little weight in other places (steel wheels and a few of the leaves are gone, aluminum/plastic radiator in place of copper brass), so should be about even. Pretty stoked to be well under 5k empty with a big block F350...haven't even started to throw any aluminum at the engine yet!

wow
pretty big spread on weights for gas trucks! my 03 ram 2500 standard cab hemi 5spd weighs about 6200 with steel wheels and 37's highlift, 12k winch, air compressor, tools, etc.

Most folks never bother to weigh their rigs but it is worth the effort of stopping in a truck stop next time you are on your way to a trail.
I have a 1970 Suburban and fully loaded with 3 people, full fuel & camp gear puts me at just under 6500lbs.
This is a new thing for me to be under GVW (7500lbs)
I still have a few things to add but there is no way I will end up even at GVW so I am a happy camper.

Last time i weighted my truck, I had a bigger tool box (tho both are aluminum, and have the same gear inside, which is a lot of trailer hitches and chain and shackles and tools that weigh quite a bit), hi-lift, full tank of fuel, and 16x12s with some dunlop mud tires, it weighed in at around 8500lbs if I remember right. Was weighed on a LARGE dairy's feed scale, so you know it was accurate. (no weigh, no pay,.. knows all of us hay haulers)
I haven't weighed it since I added my camper shell and rack and such. This was also with stock bumpers and no winches yet either. Steel bumpers and winches ARE coming also. Poor truck is a porker.
Its an '04 F350 CCLB with a 6.0l and automatic.
