FYI, when using the Ford website data,
http://www.ford.com/trucks/superduty...ions/exterior/ the 2017 F250 long wheelbase CC diesel
"BASE" curb weight is listed at 7494, the F350 is listed at 7734 and the F350 DRW is listed at 8097. With XLT trim, all F350's will weigh over 8000 pounds and in Lariat or higher trim, all F-250's will be at/over that 8000 pound mark. Add running boards, camera/electronic packages, spray in bed liner, underbed fifth wheel hitch options and nearly every 2017 Superduty LB CC will weigh over 8000 pounds.
Curb weight is one of Ford's biggest disadvantages and the reason for the shift to aluminum body panels. With a specific GVW restriction (10K for 3/4 ton), that ceiling makes payload significantly less than 2000 pounds on many F250 trucks and significantly cuts into the payload because of the 11.5K GVW listing on F350 SRW models in trim packages more "luxurious" than the XL or XLT level.
