Anyone know what their truck weighs?
I weighed my truck today and it is 5600 lbs. That’s with a full tank of gas no occupants or extra gear. Now according to Ford specifications the GVWR for a Screw with the 138.5” wheelbase, 4x2 & 54.L engine is 7050lbs. That number is on the white sticker on the driver-side door pillar also. So, what’s the scoop? Is 7050 lbs the total max weight with six occupants and the bed loaded?

That's only if you actually load 1,000 lbs in the bed.
truck + people + gas + inside cargo + bed cargo = max 7,050 lbs.
In your case (assuming you weigh 200 lbs):
7,050 max - 5,600 (truck and gas) - 200 (you) = 1,250 total cargo
That's extra people, suitcases, bed cargo, etc.
As long as all cargo is 1,250 lbs, the total will be 7,050 lbs.
Clear as mud???
