How much does an F-650 weigh empty?
The empty weight of an F-650 typically falls around 15,000 pounds (about 6,800 kilograms), depending on configuration.
The weight you see on a specific truck depends on the exact build — cab style, bed length, engine, drivetrain, and added equipment all push the curb weight up or down. This guide explains typical figures and what drives variation in practice. In perspective, the Ford F-650 is a Class 6–7 commercial truck, with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) commonly up to 33,000 pounds, which helps explain why empty weight is a fraction of that value.
What affects the F-650's empty weight
Several factors determine the curb weight of an F-650. The most influential are the cab configuration, bed length, engine and drivetrain, and optional equipment. The following list highlights common contributors:
- Cab configuration (regular vs. crew) influences weight through the passenger capsule and seat count.
- Bed length and chassis layout alter frame weight and body mass.
- Engine and drivetrain choices (diesel engine, turbo options, 2WD vs 4x4) add or subtract mass.
- Added equipment and options (aerial equipment, hydraulics, aftermarket components, heavy-duty axles) can increase curb weight.
- Fuel, fluids, and standard equipment vary by market and model year, subtly changing the curb weight.
Understanding these factors helps explain why the F-650’s curb weight is not a single fixed figure across all configurations.
Typical empty weight ranges by configuration
To give a sense of scale, here are common ranges observed across typical F-650 builds. Exact numbers come from the specific trim and options from the factory or builder.
- Regular cab, standard bed, 2WD: roughly 14,000–16,000 lb (6,350–7,260 kg).
- Crew cab, extended bed, 2WD: roughly 15,000–17,500 lb (6,800–7,900 kg).
- Crew cab, long bed, 4x4 with heavy-duty options: roughly 16,500–19,000 lb (7,480–8,600 kg).
Because the F-650 is commonly used in work applications with varying equipment, the curb weight can span a broader range depending on seller specifications. For precise figures, consult the exact build sheet or the OEM specification for the truck in question.
Summary
The F-650’s empty weight is not a single number but a range that reflects its versatile, work-ready design. In typical configurations, curb weight sits around the mid-teens of thousands of pounds, with heavier builds approaching the upper end of the range. For any given vehicle, the most reliable figure comes from the build sheet or the manufacturer’s data plate.
