I have been looking at 3.5L Screw 5.5ft bed. On the trucks avail at diff dealerships I see many different GVWR. One for 6100, 6500, 6700 I believe. What are the differences between all of these?

 

Ba dum bump

 

You're a gentleman! Thank you.

 

 

If it's anything like an RV that's the maximum loaded weight of the vehicle.

 

Eco boost or not?

It's the combined weight RATING of the truck. This includes all fluids including fuel, full passengers, cargo.


This RATING can't be confused with curb weight, GCWR, or GVW.


Curb weight is GVWR minus cargo and passengers.


GVW is exactly what you truck weighs at any given time, including current fuel level. For example, your GVW is X lbs. You pick up a 160 lb passenger, so now your GVW is X+160 lbs.


GCVW includes a trailer.

GVWR never changes. This is the full weight your truck can weigh in order to operate safely and ensure that things like your suspension and brakes will function as they are designed to.


You have to take trailer tongue weight into account when picking a truck. Example, if you have a truck with a GVWR of 6000, and the truck by itself weighs 4500lbs, then you can load it with 1500lbs safely. If you plan on hooking up a trailer though, the tongue weight adds to this.


So again, with a trailer:
GVWR (6000)

Truck (4500) + Passengers, fuel and cargo (1200) + Trailer tongue weight (300) = 6000. In this case, you're right on the limit of 6000 lbs.

Yes EcoBoost. Thanks for the info.
