My 93 Short bed, extended cab,4x2, 4.9, E4OD weighs 4500#(+/-100
#) with front tank full and rear tank empty. I imagine yours would weigh about 4300 give or take a 100 or so.

Take it to your local landfill and get it weighed in and out. Subtract your weight and viola!!!

It should weigh between 4000-4500.

My F-150 has a good amount of weight added to it (lift kit, 35" tires, misc items that add up quickly) and at the dump it weighed in at about 5300. After my 393/zf/1-ton axle swap, it should be close to 6000.

There are sooo many variables with these trucks that it's pretty much impossible for us to tell you what it weighs, ballpark is difficult too, but my guestimate of your truck's weight is like 4600ish. I think we all know the only real way to know is to have it weighed...

My 1992 F150 XLT,5.0/5sp manual, 4x4 regular cab/short box weights 4425 pounds--with spare tire and full tank of gas. With factory skid plates. 235/75x15 tires.

I was surprised it weighed that much--I was expecting about 4100 pounds.I believe that the 4x4 system adds about 250/300 pounds over the 4x2 version.

My 1988 F150 XLT Lariat, 4 x 2, 302, auto, 3.55 LS, extended cab with shortbed, with a canopy weighs 5,100 lbs. according to the truck weigh scale. How much difference does the extended cab and the canopy each make?
Frank.

Since he has a reg cab, but long bed....he is probably over 4100-4300, that figure sounds a little low, which was why I guestimated 4600...

Just go to your local dump and have it weighted I guess......
