Key Factors That Impact F-150 Curb Weight
The curb weight of an F-150 varies significantly based on these key factors:
- Cab configuration - Regular cab, SuperCab (extended cab), and SuperCrew (crew cab)
- Bed length - 5.5 ft, 6.5 ft, and 8 ft bed lengths
- Powertrain - Engine size, rear-wheel drive vs 4-wheel drive, transmission type
- Trim levels - Basic XL up to luxurious Limited trim each add different features that affect weight
With these variables, an F-150 can weigh anywhere from 4,500 pounds up to over 6,000 pounds, depending on configuration.

- SuperCrew, 8' box, 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 4x4 - 5,600 lbs
As you can see, cab and bed configuration along with powertrain make a huge difference. A crew cab (SuperCrew) F-150 with a diesel engine can weigh over 1,000 pounds more than a basic regular cab truck.
How Payload and Towing Capabilities Are Impacted
With heavier curb weights, the maximum payload and towing capabilities for F-150 models decrease accordingly. A more basic light-duty truck may weigh less but also limits payload and towing. Going up to a heavier-duty F-250 or F-350 increases capabilities greatly but also has much higher curb weights.
The best-equipped F-150 for your needs balances weight, payload, and towing based on how you plan to use your truck. The experts at Hub City Ford can help you configure the perfect F-150 once we understand your priorities.
