Never weighed with just my truck. There's a place where I used to go and pick up asfalt but there was always a trailer hook up so never knew the true of just the truck.
7000 - 5060 - 20 (to top off an assumed 23Gal tank) = 1920#
So your payload sticker is about 80# on the conservative side? That's actually surprisingly accurate.
Good point, I hadn't calculated that. (just added in OP I have 3.5TT.) Check this out... So I have a 36 gallon tank, figure I could add 16 more gallons ~98lbs to your equation. Not sure where Ford factors that in, but if we do the same calc again:
7000-5060 = 1920, then deduct 98lbs more and we get 1821. That's super close to the 1838lbs on the door sticker!
Considering scale inaccuracies, and my estimating how many gallons were in the tank, might be right on the money!

I wondered about the tank size.
But IIRC they only factor a half-tank on the 36gal. BUT I could be mistaken, I can't remember where I read that.
Next time I get a chance I will weigh my 5.0l supercab 6.5 box xlt and post the door sticker info. hope some others will do the same this could be interesting!
