Overweight or featherweight? EB weights- what does yours tip the scales at?

Here was my result from August -
Had an opportunity to weight it my local feed store.
I have a BC Broncos soft top and about 150-200 pounds of tools/supplies and fuel onboard at the time.

Sure adds up. MIne was 5350# if I remember correctly. Hard to imagine I added 100# every year for an average of 34+Lbs/year for every year I've owned it!!

At least it was the bronco and not your waist line

On a more serious note. I’ve found the trail prepped trucks to weigh 4500-5500# depending on how they are set up. I started gathering weights many years ago to write an article about towing and how many 7000# trailers are over weight. I need to do that…..

I had a 7k trailer and realized the same thing just moving my mustang around. The bronco (project) was even more noticeable…. Brakes on both axles under a 10k trailer makes a big difference in control and the added length makes setting tongue weight much easier for different vehicle types.

Here's mine. 3858lbs (1750 kg), and the subject truck. Weight was leaving the local dump, so full of fuel, no occupants, and no gear.
The picture with the trike is just because ATC's are cool like Broncos, and that was a fun day!

That would be a great article for the 7k trailers. Mine w/Bronco weighs out at 6950# at 3 different scales. I do not carry anything in my Bronco and try to have less than 10 gal of gas in the Bronco until we get closer to our destination- course 95% of the places we go the gas is less than home so that makes it easier to delay the purchase. With mtrhome we have a few hundred pounds to spare for registered combined weight, GVWR.

Mine is definitely going to be on the heavier side when it’s done

I only carry 10 gal of potable water in the mtrhome tank also. We barely squeeze in legal weight. Everybody that I've talked to with an F450 mtrhome and Bronco that has weighed in is overweight.
