Best is to go to a dump or some other facility that has a vehicle scale.

If it isn't busy, often you just have to ask.

If it IS busy, perhaps you can bring something you need to get rid of....

Whenever I need to know the weight of something (usually my tractor) I visit the local grain elevator on a Sunday during the offseason (not fall) when they are closed, they leave the digital readout on the scale on all the time.

Have you looked on the tag inside your driver's side door? I dunno if it'd work for you, but mine's listed right there; total weight and then separate front and rear weights. That'd at least get you a starting point.

Umm, that's not how much your truck weighs. That's its gross vehicle weight rating. Your truck really weighs substantially less than that.

 

[VBredneck]

Yup, just realized that.

my 4x4 regular cab short bed, 2.3, manual tranny, manual t case, 31x10.50 BFG AT, stock alloy wheels without spare tire or anything in the bed, just me in the cab weighs 3600lbs

I went way over the any of the rated weights for the thing on sunday hauling in 1900lbs of scrap to the dump on a 800lb trailer... but it made it and didn't do too bad all things considered

As of my last trip to the scrapper my truck and I weigh 4360. That is with a fullsize spare in the bed, some chains, bottlejack, among probably 60 lbs of misc stuff, plus my 180lbs.

That puts the weight of my truck at 4120.

This is a 97 ext cab 4x4 4.0 5spd with 32" BFGs.

Curb weight mean full fuel, nothing it didn't roll off the factory floor with, no passengers.

1993 Mazda B2600i 4x4 regular cab= 3305# curb

Fully equipped 4x4 4.0 Rangers are in the 3,600# range. Here's a 2001 listed at 3,584#

Here's a 96 ext 3.0 4x4 listed at 3,300# empty. The 4.0 is probably 200# heavier considering the 8.8 axle that will probably be different. I didn't see a '97 listed.

Most scales are certified tare only, not gross. That's why I don't trust them. I've seen F150 4x4s weigh 3,500# at Kroots when I drop of scrap steel.

I have the CAT Scales ticket for my B2. This is totally empty--even the glove box with me in the driver's seat and a full tank. I'm 200# so it's probably 4,040# curb. That's with a heavy winch mount, winch, aftermarket suspension with heavy old-type Duff radius arms, stock rims with 31" tires, rear receiver hitch, CB, brake controller I dunno what else--4.0 and M50D replacing the 2.9 A4LD and the extra shocks and hoops, D35 instead of D28, 8.8 instead of 7.5. This truck was listed at 3385# curb which dispells the myth that Ranger's are heavier. My B2 has picked up 650# in bolt-on modifications and is now only 240# below it's GVWR on the door sticker. When I'm in it I can only carry about 40# worth of gear or I'm liable to get an arrest from motor vehicle enforcement. Just a lesson on how those modifications can add up.

Does your registration have the weight on it? It's probably a few hundred more LBS than that depending on how much stuff you have in it. Mine states my B2 is 3375 and it's 4K with my skinny ass and all my junk and my friend who's is the same size as me and a half tank of gas (12ish gallons).

Those registration empty wieghts suck, mine is listed at 2750 for my truck. According to 2 junkyard scales, and a grain scale it weighs around 3750 empty with me not in it.
My 85 f 150 actually is less than that, but its 2wd 6 cyl bare bones

mazda truck = heavy
mazda truck w/you in it = more heavy
