How much would my bed full of water weigh?

In the summer i thought about lining it with a tarp and filling it with water as a makeshift pool, but not sure how much weight that is, if its safe to put that much in there.

Not very hard to do. Look up the cubic feet of your bed, it is on the Ford site in brochure section etc and is anywhere from about 55 cf to 81 depending on your bed.

Then, just multiply that times how much a cubic foot of water weighs which you can look up on one of the internets.

Plus, your idea sounds ________, but we are not allowed to hurt people's feelings here. Thanks

Depends on whether or not its hot or cold water.......

55 cubic feet-3,433 lbs.

81 cubic feet- 5,056 lbs.


Thats alot of lbs. Just make sure you dont let too many fat chick swim.

answer: 8.34 x depth of bed (in) x length of bed (in) x width of bed (in) / 231 = weight of the water in lbs

although that'll be slightly more than the actual weight since it doesn't account for the volume of the bed taken up by the wheel wells or the tarp

BobbyG1984

weight of water is 62.4 lbs/ft^3

the rest should be fairly self explanitory

8.34 x depth of bed (in) x length of bed (in) x width of bed (in) / 231 = weight of the water in lbs

+ sum of all weight of fat chix
