Has anyone weighed the rear of their stock Bronco, either with a scales that measures the front/rear of the truck, or measured via corner scales? Preferably with a hardtop on.

Thanks,
Todd Z.

Stock bronco? I have two grain facilities within 2 miles of my house that leave their scales on 24/7 for cattle haulers. My 71' isn't stock but pretty close. The u14 would be a little light and the 66 u15 doesn't have the top on it. Can get a weight sometime this weekend unless someone beats me to it.

Okie, I'd be very interested in a total weight, working on a trailering article if you wouldn't mind sharing.

This seems consistent with what we've seen before, with "stock" weights coming in at between 3600 and 3800 lbs. total. Where most of ours with mild modifications come in more between 4100 and 4300 lbs.
My '71 was 4250 total (don't remember the f-r bias) when it had 32's on 8" steel wheels, two full stock tanks, tools and gear in the back with my 180lbs (at the time) in the mix.
