I think I am going to talk to my brother in law and see if I can run my truck over his scale to see what it weighs because I am really curious now.

2.5" leveling spacers on the front and adjustable track bar to put the axle back in the center of the truck.

The CAT scales said my truck weighs 7,220 lbs with myself at 220lbs and a full tank of gas.
Its a 2009 F250 XL 4x4 longbed model with 6.8L V10, AT, 17" OEM wheels and tires, WTW steps and a 5th wheel hitch in the bed.
Its GVWR is 9,600 lbs and Cargo capacity is 2,843 lbs.
So from the factory my truck weighs around 6,757 lbs.

I went ahead and got my truck weighed a few weeks ago and finally got around to posting the weight slip. Still very surprised 6.4s are so much heavier then previous years. Almost 1k difference in my trucks weight and freeky's

In addition to the extra weight of the engine, I believe they beefed up the frame quite a bit too. More sound deadening material, thicker glass, larger radius arms, bigger leaf springs. I believe it's more than just the engine.

Yeah I was referring to the truck as a whole. The little things really add up
