We weigh it most every year at a rally. We have this problem... The truck loaded and ready to tow weighs @ 9,000 lbs .
9,000 lbs!?? If you took off your snowplow, it wouldn't weigh so much!! LOL
And I thought my truck was heavy at 8,000 fully loaded (family and fuel)!
Gonna get some weights on my new H.C. and truck next week to see where I'm at. Then start loading it up with lightweight dishes and all the other stuff for our first outing.
Sounds like the best way to keep the weight down would be just the obvious...don't carry around too much unnecessary "stuff"!

These Fords are heavy. Far heavier than the others. We have the snow plow package that gives heavier springs on the front but no snowplow.

We did reduce weight some by removing "stuff" that we never used. Hopefully we will under 9K at the next weigh in.
