Getting stuck on a bridge is a scary prospect! Let’s figure out how much your F250 Super Duty
weighs so it doesn’t happen to you. Based on a quick search, it looks like the curb weight of a Super Duty is between 5,677 and 7.538, depending on the year and trim level.
Curb weight is the weight of your truck when empty, so you’ll also have to take into account anything you load into the bed or put inside the cab—this should include fuel, passengers, cargo, and even you!
If you’re pulling a trailer, you will need to consider the “tongue weight,” or the amount of the trailer’s weight that transfers to your vehicle (usually 10% to 20% of the combined trailer weight and load).
Now that you have that information, I hope you feel safer crossing that bridge! It’s not very often that a bridge can’t handle the weight of a pick-up, so I’d guess that you’ll be ok.
