Ford F-150 Curb Weight by Trim & Cab Configuration (2024–2025)

You roll into a state weigh station off I-40 with a 2024 F-150 SuperCrew Platinum. The bed holds a generator and three coolers. The attendant asks for your truck's weight when empty. The window sticker is long gone. The owner's manual is buried under a tool roll on the back seat. This number drives your towing math, payload headroom, trailer brake setup, and real-world MPG. This guide gives you the actual numbers by cab, bed, engine, and trim so you stop guessing.

F-150 weight runs from about 4,021 lb on a Regular Cab XL with the 2.7L EcoBoost up to roughly 5,684 lb on a SuperCrew Raptor R with the 5.2L supercharged V8. SuperCrew adds 300-400 lb over Regular Cab. The 8-foot bed adds 50-70 lb over the 5.5-foot bed. Diesel and PowerBoost hybrid powertrains each add 100-200 lb versus the base 2.7L EcoBoost.

What Empty Weight Means for Your F-150

Empty weight is the truck's mass as it sits in your driveway with a full tank of fuel, all standard equipment, and zero people or cargo inside. No tool boxes. No coolers. No passenger with a 32 oz coffee.

That number matters because every other rating depends on it. GVWR is the maximum your truck can weigh fully loaded. Payload is GVWR minus empty weight. That's what you can put in the bed and cab combined. Tow rating works off empty weight too, since the truck must be heavy enough to anchor the trailer it's pulling.

Many owners mix these up. Empty weight is not GVWR. Payload is not towing capacity. If you're sizing a fifth-wheel or staying legal on a CDL-exempt setup, you need the right base number. Ford publishes official figures for every configuration on the Ford spec page. Your truck's specific build sheet lives on the yellow sticker inside the driver-side door jamb.

F-150 Weight by Cab Configuration

Cab style is the single biggest factor in how much your F-150 weighs. The numbers below are 2024 model year averages with the base 2.7L EcoBoost V6 in XL trim.

Cab Style	Bed Length	Base Weight
Regular Cab	6.5 ft	4,021 lb
Regular Cab	8 ft	4,078 lb
SuperCab	6.5 ft	4,398 lb
SuperCab	8 ft	4,465 lb
SuperCrew	5.5 ft	4,705 lb
SuperCrew	6.5 ft	4,762 lb

Regular Cab (6.5-ft and 8-ft bed)

This is the lightest F-150 you can buy. Two doors, one bench, and the smallest cab Ford offers. Fleet buyers love it. So do owners who don't need back-seat passengers and want every spare pound for payload.

A Regular Cab XL with the 2.7L EcoBoost and 6.5-foot bed starts at 4,021 lb. Add the 8-foot bed and you gain about 57 lb. This configuration maximizes payload capacity. You sacrifice passenger room for cargo space and lower acquisition cost.

SuperCab (6.5-ft and 8-ft bed)

Add about 380 lb over Regular Cab for the rear-hinged half-doors and the small jump seats behind the front row. Still a working truck, but you can throw a duffel and a chainsaw behind the seats without burying them in the bed. If you've got a 2015-2024 SuperCab and you're thinking about freshening the cabin, check out these 2015 f150 interior upgrades.

SuperCab models split the difference between Regular Cab and SuperCrew. The 6.5-foot bed version weighs 4,398 lb. The 8-foot bed adds another 67 lb. This cab style works for small crews who need occasional back-seat access but still want good payload.

SuperCrew (5.5-ft, 6.5-ft, and 8-ft bed)

Four full-size doors, real back-seat legroom, the works. The penalty is roughly 300 lb over a comparable SuperCab. This is what most retail buyers drive home, and it's why payload numbers on Lariat and above start looking tight.

A SuperCrew with the 5.5-foot bed weighs 4,705 lb. The 6.5-foot bed adds 57 lb. The 8-foot bed configuration is available on some trims and adds about 114 lb over the 5.5-foot version. SuperCrew is the comfort choice for families and daily drivers.

F-150 Weight by Engine Option

Engine choice swings weight more than most folks realize. We're using SuperCrew with the 5.5-ft bed as the baseline since that's the volume seller.

Engine	Approx. Weight (SuperCrew 5.5-ft)
2.7L EcoBoost V6	4,705 lb
5.0L Ti-VCT V8	4,815 lb
3.5L EcoBoost V6	4,860 lb
3.0L Power Stroke Diesel	4,910 lb
3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid	5,050 lb
5.2L Supercharged V8 (Raptor R)	5,684 lb

2.7L EcoBoost V6

Lightest option. Twin-turbo six putting down 325 hp. Most fleet trucks and many XLT retail builds run this engine. You'll see strong fuel economy and plenty of towing for light trailers. The 2.7L is Ford's volume play for cost-conscious buyers.

3.5L EcoBoost V6

About 155 lb heavier than the 2.7L. Bigger turbos, more displacement, and the tow champ of the gas lineup at 400 hp. Buyers who want peak towing capacity without a diesel go here. The 3.5L EcoBoost delivers more torque and better performance when fully loaded.

5.0L Ti-VCT V8

Coyote V8, 400 hp. Sits between the two EcoBoosts on the scale. Buyers who want the V8 sound and aren't chasing peak MPG choose this engine. It delivers smooth power and strong mid-range torque. The 5.0L appeals to owners who value driving feel over fuel economy.

3.0L Power Stroke Diesel

Ford dropped the diesel after 2021, but you'll still see it on used lots. It adds roughly 100-150 lb over the 2.7L EcoBoost because of the heavier block and emissions hardware. Diesel buyers loved the torque and fuel economy trade-off. The Power Stroke was rated for 440 lb-ft of torque, making it a towing favorite.

3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid

The heaviest non-Raptor option. The 35 kW electric motor and battery pack add about 345 lb over the 2.7L. You get Pro Power Onboard up to 7.2 kW, but you pay for it on the scale. Hybrid buyers see better MPG in mixed driving. The PowerBoost is ideal for owners who want efficiency without sacrificing power.

F-150 Weight by Trim Level

Trim adds weight through content. Bigger wheels, panoramic moonroof, Max Recline Seats, heavier sound systems, and on Tremor and Raptor builds, off-road hardware. The pattern looks like this for a 2024 SuperCrew 5.5-ft with the base engine for each trim:

Trim	Approx. Weight
XL	4,705 lb
XLT	4,750 lb
Lariat	4,890 lb
King Ranch	5,015 lb
Platinum	5,090 lb
Limited	5,165 lb
Tremor	5,205 lb
Raptor	5,325 lb
Raptor R	5,684 lb

XL and XLT are the work-truck end of the lineup. Vinyl floors, cloth seats, manual lumbar. Strip them down and they're the lightest factory builds you can spec. Fleet managers choose these trims for payload capacity and lower acquisition cost. An XL SuperCrew weighs 4,705 lb, while an XLT adds about 45 lb through upgraded cloth and trim pieces.

Lariat through Platinum is where weight starts piling on. Leather seats, heated and cooled buckets, the optional panoramic roof, larger 20- to 22-inch wheels, and Pro Power Onboard generators. Limited tops the luxury side, and if you're eyeballing one, the F-150 Limited upgrade guide walks through what makes it different. A Lariat SuperCrew weighs 4,890 lb, while a Platinum hits 5,090 lb.

Tremor, Raptor, and Raptor R sit at the heavy end for a different reason: off-road hardware. Fox Live Valve shocks, skid plates, wider track, 37-inch tires on Raptor, and on the R, a 5.2L supercharged V8 lifted from the Mustang GT500. The Raptor R hits roughly 5,684 lb, which is more than some half-ton diesels. A standard Raptor SuperCrew weighs 5,325 lb.

Factory options matter too. The panoramic moonroof adds about 60 lb. Max Recline Seats add 25 lb per side. Pro Power Onboard 7.2 kW with PowerBoost adds another 35 lb. Spec the truck how you want, just know where the pounds land.

How Empty Weight Affects Towing and Payload

Payload math is simple: GVWR minus empty weight equals what you can carry. A Platinum SuperCrew with a GVWR of 7,050 lb and an empty weight of 5,090 lb gives you about 1,960 lb of payload. Sounds like a lot. Now add four adults at 200 lb each, a full tank of fuel you already counted, a tonneau cover, a bed liner, and the tongue weight of a 7,500 lb travel trailer at 10% (so 750 lb). You're at 1,800 lb in the cab and on the hitch before you've packed a single cooler.

This is where guys get in trouble. The marketing says the truck tows 11,000 lb. The fine print says only if you ditch the passengers and the gear.

Trailer brake controllers reference empty weight too. Most aftermarket controllers want trailer weight under 1.5x your truck's empty weight for safe braking distance. A 5,000 lb F-150 pulling a 9,000 lb trailer is already at the edge.

Every accessory you bolt on raises your effective weight. Bed liner, tonneau, running boards, headache rack, lift kit. None of that gets counted on the door sticker, but all of it eats payload. A bed liner alone can cost you 40-60 lb of capacity.

Cab and Bed Combos That Maximize Payload

If payload is the priority, the answer is boring but correct: Regular Cab XL with the 8-ft bed and the 2.7L EcoBoost. Roughly 4,078 lb of empty weight against a GVWR that can hit 7,100 lb gives you north of 3,000 lb of payload on a properly optioned HD Payload Package build.

The trade-off is obvious. No back seat. No room for the family. Just you, maybe a passenger, and a lot of cargo space behind the cab.

SuperCrew is the comfort answer, and it's what 80% of retail buyers pick. Just understand you're trading roughly 700 lb of payload ceiling for the rear doors and the legroom.

The yellow payload sticker on your door jamb is the only number that matters for your specific truck. Published weight figures are model averages. Your truck's sticker reflects your exact build with the options it left the factory with. Subtract what you've added since (bed liner, tonneau, ladder rack) and you've got your real working number.

Interior Wear That Comes With a Working F-150

Here's the part nobody talks about in the spec sheets. A working F-150 takes a beating inside. I've seen XL cloth bench seats with grease ground in from a tool bag riding shotgun for three years straight. The driver's bolster on a SuperCrew Lariat where the leather cracks first because that's where your jeans pivot every time you climb out. Sun damage on a Platinum left in a parking lot all July in San Antonio, where the dash starts looking like alligator skin and the seat leather goes brittle.

Resale takes a hit fast. A clean 2020 Lariat with 80k miles books $4,000, $6,000 higher than the same truck with torn seats. That's just the math the dealers run. This is where made-to-fit truck covers earn their keep. They're cut for the exact cab, exact seat shape, and the side airbags deploy clean through the safety seams. Install runs under an hour with the seats still bolted in. If you want something nicer than work-grade vinyl, the luxury seat covers come in eco-leather with diamond stitch that matches the factory pattern on Lariat and Platinum interiors.

A buddy of mine put a set on his 2022 XLT after his lab destroyed the rear bench. Two years later the covers came off for a trade-in, and the factory cloth underneath looked brand new. That's the real payoff.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the curb weight of a 2024 F-150 SuperCrew?

A 2024 F-150 SuperCrew with the 2.7L EcoBoost and 5.5-ft bed starts at roughly 4,705 lb. Step up to the 3.5L PowerBoost hybrid in the same cab and bed configuration and you're closer to 5,050 lb. Exact figures shift with trim level and factory options like the panoramic moonroof, Max Recline Seats, and Pro Power Onboard. Check the door-jamb sticker for your specific build.

Q: How much does an F-150 Regular Cab weigh?

A base Regular Cab F-150 XL with the 2.7L EcoBoost and 6.5-ft bed comes in around 4,021 lb. That's the lightest production F-150 you can buy. The 8-ft bed version adds about 50-70 lb. Step up to the 5.0L V8 or 3.5L EcoBoost and you'll add another 100-150 lb depending on the engine.

Q: Does the F-150 diesel weigh more than the gas models?

Yes. The 3.0L Power Stroke diesel adds roughly 100-150 lb over the comparable 2.7L EcoBoost build. The heavier engine block, DEF tank, and emissions hardware all add pounds up front. Ford discontinued the Power Stroke after 2021, so you'll only find it on used lots now. It was a torque monster but it cost you payload.

Q: How do I find the exact curb weight of my specific F-150?

The yellow payload sticker inside your driver-side door jamb is the most accurate source. It lists GVWR and the payload rating for your exact build. Subtract the payload from GVWR and you've got your truck's empty weight as it left the factory. Ford's build-and-price tool also publishes weight specs by configuration if you want to compare before buying.

Q: Does the F-150 Raptor weigh more than a standard F-150?

A lot more. The Raptor SuperCrew comes in around 5,325 lb thanks to its wider frame, Fox Live Valve shocks, skid plates, 37-inch tires, and beefier driveline. The Raptor R with the 5.2L supercharged V8 from the Mustang GT500 tops out near 5,684 lb. That's nearly 1,000 lb heavier than a base XL SuperCrew with the same cab.

Q: Does curb weight change if I add a tonneau cover or bed liner?

The factory empty weight number doesn't change since it's set at the assembly line. But your truck's actual weight does. A spray-in bed liner adds 40-60 lb. A hard folding tonneau cover adds 50-80 lb. Running boards, headache racks, and tool boxes pile on more. All of it counts against your payload rating, so subtract it from your published payload number to get your real cargo capacity.
