How much does a stock F150 weigh?

A stock Ford F-150 typically weighs roughly between 4,600 and 6,000 pounds, depending on configuration; most builds sit in the mid-to-high 5,000-pound range.


The Ford F-150 is offered in multiple configurations that affect curb weight, including cab size (Regular, SuperCab, SuperCrew), bed length (5.5 ft, 6.5 ft, and sometimes 8 ft), drivetrain (2WD vs 4WD), and engine choice (gas engines plus a hybrid). Weight varies by model year and trim as options are added or removed. The following guide outlines the practical ranges you’re likely to encounter today.


What determines the weight


Engine and drivetrain impact


The engine choice and whether the truck uses two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive have the biggest impact on curb weight. Heavier powertrains and the hybrid system add mass, while base engines and fewer drivetrain options keep weight lower.


Cab size and bed length


Regular Cab versus SuperCrew, and bed length options (5.5 ft vs 6.5 ft) change the overall weight. Larger cabs and longer beds add structural components and load-carrying hardware that push curb weight upward.


Trim level and optional equipment


Higher trims and options such as upgraded suspension, wheels, and safety tech contribute modestly to weight. The hybrid PowerBoost model is notably heavier than all-gas configurations.


Typical curb weight ranges by configuration


The following ranges reflect common stock configurations seen on dealer lots today. Exact numbers vary by model year, trim, and options; consult the official build sheet for your specific truck.



  • Regular Cab, 2WD, with smaller engines (eg. 3.3L V6 or 2.7L EcoBoost): about 4,600–4,900 lb.

  • SuperCrew, 5.5-foot bed, 2WD, with midrange engine (2.7L EcoBoost or 3.5L EcoBoost): about 4,950–5,400 lb.

  • SuperCrew, 5.5-foot bed, 4WD, with larger engine (3.5L EcoBoost or 5.0L V8): about 5,100–5,800 lb.

  • SuperCrew, 5.5-foot bed, 4WD, PowerBoost Hybrid: roughly 5,800–6,300 lb.


Note: these ranges are approximate and depend on the exact year, trim, cab/bed combination, and optional equipment. For precise figures, refer to the vehicle’s door jamb sticker or the official Ford spec sheet for the exact configuration.


Important notes on weight and payload


Weight alone doesn’t tell the full story. The F-150’s payload rating and gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) determine how much cargo and passengers you can carry, and how much towing capability is available. Payload typically spans about 1,500 to 3,500 pounds, depending on configuration. Always verify the specific numbers for the exact truck you’re considering.


How to verify the weight of your F-150


To confirm the exact curb weight of a particular F-150, check the door jamb placard and the original window sticker. VIN decoding or a dealer-produced spec sheet can also reveal the precise curb weight for your model year and trim. If you’re buying used, ask for the official spec sheet from the original build to ensure accuracy.


Summary


In practice, a stock Ford F-150’s weight varies with configuration, but most models fall between about 4,600 and 6,000 pounds. For precise numbers, always refer to the official specs for the exact year, trim, cab, bed, and drivetrain. This is essential for understanding payload, towing, and performance expectations.

Is an F150 a half ton or 3/4 ton?

Other weight-related specifications
  • Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle including all fluids, cargo, and passengers. This can range from about 6,010 lbs to 7,050 lbs depending on the configuration. 
  • Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR): The maximum allowable weight of the truck and the trailer it is towing. For one specific model, this was listed as 12,100 lbs. 
  • Payload Capacity: The maximum weight the truck can carry in its bed and cabin. This can range from about 1,570 to over 2,200 pounds, depending on the configuration. 
  • Towing Capacity: The maximum weight the truck can tow. This can range significantly depending on the engine, from around 7,600 pounds to as high as 12,200 pounds for some models. 



Does a Ford F150 weigh over 6000 pounds?


Yes, many Ford F-150 models are over 6,000 pounds, but it depends on the specific configuration like cab size, bed length, and drivetrain. Configurations like a SuperCrew with a 6.5-foot bed, or a Regular Cab with an 8-foot bed are likely to be over 6,000 pounds, often due to their higher Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). 

  • Configuration matters: A SuperCrew model with a 5.5-foot bed is over 6,000 lbs GVWR, while a Regular Cab with a 6.5-foot bed is under 6,000 lbs GVWR. 
  • GVWR vs. curb weight: The GVWR is the maximum weight of the vehicle when fully loaded, while the curb weight is the weight of the truck itself. 
  • Tax implications: Models with a GVWR over 6,000 pounds are often eligible for Section 179 tax benefits. 
  • Examples: A SuperCrew with a 5.5-foot bed is over 6,000 lbs GVWR, and an F-150 with an 8-foot bed is also over 6,000 lbs. 



What does an F-150 pickup truck weigh?


4,021 to 5,540 pounds
The curb weight of a 2024 Ford F150 ranges from 4,021 to 5,540 pounds. This range changes based on cab size, bed length, and engine type.
