Default Anyone know where to get my truck weighed near Orange, CA?
I am looking to get my truck properly weighed now that I have bigger tires/rims, spray in bedliner, tri-fold bed cover and assorted gear in my tuck. I googled around to find a place near me and from what I understand the best place to use is a place with a CAT scale. The closest one is 45 min from me. Does anyone in Orange County have a preferred place that is reasonably priced to get my truck weighed?

Thanks!

If you get your's weighed post it here --> https://www.f150forum.com/f123/offic...thread-444621/
I also have a link posted where you can put your city and they will locate surrounding weight scales.
I don't remember how much mine cost but probably $10-15.

Yeesh, no place near me. I found this too https://apps1.cdfa.ca.gov/publicscales/view.aspx?c=30 and it looks like there are a few places within 20 min of me. Are these the same kind of scales?

Go to the scrap yard, it’s free and you can get a couple dollars for your trouble.

Check out Schorr Metals in Placentia off Kraemer and Orangethorpe. I’ve weighed a few vehicles there before

In the Midwest I would go to a Grain Elevator and go in and ask them. Pretty sure most would do it for free. Probably not so common in Orange County CA.

Many times if you have a place that takes scrap metal for recycling, dump materials, yard waste? Almost all weigh you before and after..

Just google public scale near me. There are a couple in Santa Ana. The one I went to was 55 / Dyer, $10.00.
