I tried this app today. It was the first time I ever weighed and it was very easy. Thank you for posting this.

I'm not sure, but I'm thinking my 2017 F-350 is 8500 +/-.
Why so much ? Interweb says that thing should be 7000lb ish
Must need to deduct Pin.
Me thinks you should visit the scales.

This sounds like a lot to me as well. I weighed my 2500 Megacab Diesel @ 8600 lbs with just myself and over half a tank of fuel and some fire wood in the back. I have to assume the megacab weighs pretty close to a crew cab with 8' bed. I am also deleted with no DEF or DEF filters. Those exhaust components were heavy, I assume another 100 lbs easily. I do have heavier than stock tires, but only 4 of them, so add for the 2 extra wheels @ 130lbs each + longer axle, another 100 lbs. 3 extra passengers if he had company= 500 lbs. Assume another 10 gallons of fuel= 80 lbs
That would push my truck to about 9650 lbs. Where does the extra 800 lbs come from? Hitch? I have a goose ball so my hitch weight is on the camper.

For me, I have 4 passengers and a lot of stuff in the truck bed (10g of extra fuel, Clam screen tent, sewer bladder, adjustable ball hitch, bike rack, 300 lbs. Trailer Saver hitch, a tote of river floats, wood for under the front jacks, a Weber Q grill, a firepit, and likely more that I'm forgetting).
We were fulltime and it was everything we owned.

Well Krazy, have you ever visited a scale with your F350 (DRW?) as stated earlier our 2016 Ram Laramie 3500 DRW from the factory weighed 8,589# with driver (150#) and a full tank of fuel. Now add me over 150#, DW, small dog, hitch, adapter frame, and in bed tool box, we added 1,411#. Anything you add to your truck reduces it’s “Yellow Sticker” payload!
Go to the scales ready to tow with all stuff and passengers and a full tank of fuel, you might be surprised.
