Ford Canada's current 2026 Super Duty specification table publishes F-250 single-rear-wheel base curb weights from 5,691 to 7,660 lb (2,581 to 3,475 kg) across four engines and ten cab, box and drivetrain columns. Those endpoints belong to different configurations: the low cell is a 7.3L gas Regular Cab 4x2, while the high cell is a 6.7L high-output diesel Crew Cab long-box 4x4. A useful answer therefore needs the exact row and column, not one generic number. Ford defines base curb weight as the vehicle with a full fuel tank and standard equipment, excluding passengers, cargo and optional equipment. This page transcribes the 40 published pound values, preserves Ford's metric endpoints and explains how base curb weight differs from the actual truck weight, payload and GVWR. The table was reviewed on 13 September 2026; it does not replace the labels or scale weight of an individual truck.
Direct answer: 5,691 to 7,660 lb in Ford's 2026 F-250 table
The lightest published F-250 cell is 5,691 lb for the 7.3L gas Regular Cab 4x2. The heaviest is 7,660 lb for the high-output 6.7L diesel Crew Cab long-box 4x4. They are endpoints of Ford Canada's base-curb-weight matrix, not a promise that every F-250 weighs somewhere predictable between them after options are installed.
Choose the engine row first, then the cab, short- or long-box column and 4x2 or 4x4 drive. Keep the model year attached: these are 2026 figures and do not overwrite earlier or later F-250 specifications.
| 2026 F-250 endpoint | Ford-published weight | Exact configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest table cell | 5,691 lb / 2,581 kg | 7.3L gas, Regular Cab, 4x2 |
| Highest table cell | 7,660 lb / 3,475 kg | 6.7L high-output diesel, Crew Cab, long box, 4x4 |
| Spread between endpoints | 1,969 lb | Arithmetic across two different configurations; not an option-weight allowance |
What Ford means by base curb weight
Ford's 2026 towing guide defines base curb weight as the weight of the vehicle with a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It excludes passengers, cargo and optional equipment. That definition is the boundary for the matrix below.
A truck on a scale can be heavier because of trim content, factory options, dealer or owner accessories, occupants, cargo, hitch hardware, tools, auxiliary tanks or modifications. Do not call a loaded scale ticket a base-curb-weight measurement without reconciling those additions.
Read the ten columns in Ford's published order
Ford Canada presents ten columns. Regular Cab has 4x2 and 4x4. SuperCab and Crew Cab each split into short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase groups, with a 4x2 and 4x4 cell in each group. On these pickup configurations, the short-wheelbase group corresponds to the short box and the long-wheelbase group to the long box.
Do not slide a value into the adjacent column. A 4x4 number is not the answer for a 4x2, and a Crew Cab short-box value is not the same as a SuperCab long-box value even if the overall lengths appear similar.
| Column pair | Body/box description | Drive cells |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | Regular Cab, long box | 4x2; 4x4 |
| 3–4 | SuperCab, short box | 4x2; 4x4 |
| 5–6 | SuperCab, long box | 4x2; 4x4 |
| 7–8 | Crew Cab, short box | 4x2; 4x4 |
| 9–10 | Crew Cab, long box | 4x2; 4x4 |
2026 F-250 Regular Cab base curb weight
Regular Cab figures use the long-box pickup configuration. Ford publishes separate weights for the 6.8L gas, 7.3L gas, standard-output 6.7L diesel and high-output 6.7L diesel. The high-output designation is its own row; do not assume the standard diesel cell covers both versions.
All values below are pounds transcribed from Ford Canada's table. They are base figures, not a certified payload calculation for a truck with options.
| Engine | Regular Cab 4x2 | Regular Cab 4x4 |
|---|---|---|
| 6.8L gas | 5,697 lb | 6,093 lb |
| 7.3L gas | 5,691 lb | 6,082 lb |
| 6.7L diesel | 6,583 lb | 6,981 lb |
| 6.7L high-output diesel | 6,598 lb | 6,996 lb |
2026 F-250 SuperCab base curb weight
SuperCab has four cells per engine because Ford separates short and long wheelbases and 4x2 from 4x4. A seller's description of “extended cab” is not enough to select a cell; confirm the Ford cab identity, box length and drivetrain.
The long-box diesel values are not automatically the heaviest F-250 values. Crew Cab, drive type and engine row still matter, which is why a single body-style range can conceal the required configuration.
| Engine | Short box 4x2 | Short box 4x4 | Long box 4x2 | Long box 4x4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.8L gas | 5,995 lb | 6,415 lb | 6,074 lb | 6,504 lb |
| 7.3L gas | 5,968 lb | 6,389 lb | 6,077 lb | 6,587 lb |
| 6.7L diesel | 6,870 lb | 7,268 lb | 6,999 lb | 7,386 lb |
| 6.7L high-output diesel | 6,885 lb | 7,283 lb | 7,014 lb | 7,401 lb |
2026 F-250 Crew Cab base curb weight
Crew Cab also has short-box and long-box groups with two drive types. The table's 7,660-lb maximum occurs in the high-output diesel long-box 4x4 cell; it should not be assigned to another Crew Cab merely because both trucks have four full doors.
Trim, seating, running boards, roof equipment, spray-in liners and other options can alter an actual truck beyond these base values. Use the row as specification context and the individual vehicle evidence for a real load calculation.
| Engine | Short box 4x2 | Short box 4x4 | Long box 4x2 | Long box 4x4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.8L gas | 6,041 lb | 6,396 lb | 6,264 lb | 6,699 lb |
| 7.3L gas | 6,124 lb | 6,480 lb | 6,348 lb | 6,783 lb |
| 6.7L diesel | 6,963 lb | 7,331 lb | 7,210 lb | 7,645 lb |
| 6.7L high-output diesel | 6,978 lb | 7,346 lb | 7,225 lb | 7,660 lb |
Metric endpoints and engine-row ranges
Ford Canada publishes a kilogram table as well as the pound table. The summary below preserves the lowest and highest cells in each engine row using Ford's displayed units. It does not recalculate every cell or imply that every value between the endpoints is offered.
Because Ford displays rounded whole kilograms and whole pounds, converting a displayed value can differ slightly from the companion displayed unit. For an exact table lookup, use the unit Ford publishes rather than creating extra precision.
| Engine row | Published pound range | Published kilogram range |
|---|---|---|
| 6.8L gas | 5,697–6,699 lb | 2,584–3,039 kg |
| 7.3L gas | 5,691–6,783 lb | 2,581–3,077 kg |
| 6.7L diesel | 6,583–7,645 lb | 2,986–3,468 kg |
| 6.7L high-output diesel | 6,598–7,660 lb | 2,993–3,475 kg |
Engine choice changes the applicable row
The two gas rows and two diesel rows remain separate. For example, the Regular Cab 4x2 cells are 5,697 lb for the 6.8L gas, 5,691 lb for the 7.3L gas, 6,583 lb for the standard diesel and 6,598 lb for the high-output diesel. Those four values belong to the same cab and drive layout but not the same powertrain.
Do not apply a generic diesel-versus-gas adjustment to other years or configurations. Ford has already published the exact cells for this model-year matrix; use them directly and leave unavailable variants unresolved.
4x4 is a column change, not a universal add-on number
Within Ford's Regular Cab rows, the displayed 4x4-minus-4x2 differences are 396 lb for the 6.8L gas, 391 lb for the 7.3L gas and 398 lb for either diesel row. Elsewhere in the matrix the differences change with body and box.
Those subtractions are transparent comparisons of paired Ford cells, not a universal transfer-case or axle weight. Never add one of them to an unrelated F-250, another model year or a truck already represented by a published 4x4 cell.
Cab and box must stay attached to the weight
Cab size and box length change the physical configuration represented by the table. A Crew Cab long-box 4x4 is not merely a trim variation of a Regular Cab 4x2. It has a different wheelbase, body and published base weight.
Record the cab, box and drive type from authoritative build information before selecting a value. If the vehicle has a service body, removed pickup box or other completed-vehicle change, this pickup matrix no longer describes its present weight.
Base curb weight is not the truck's present empty scale weight
A scale ticket records the vehicle as presented: fuel level, driver, passengers, loose items, accessories and modifications all matter. Ford's base definition instead assumes full fuel and standard equipment while excluding passengers, cargo and optional equipment.
For trip planning, weigh the truck in the condition that will actually travel. For a curb-weight research question, preserve the Ford base figure and separately list everything added or removed. Do not force a scale result to equal a catalogue cell.
Options and accessories consume weight without changing the base row
Factory packages, larger wheels or tires, steps, skid plates, roof equipment, bed liners, hitches, toolboxes, auxiliary tanks and aftermarket protection can raise the actual vehicle weight. The base table does not itemize those additions.
Use a window sticker, build record, parts list and measured weight to understand an individual truck. A base-curb-weight cell is not evidence that every truck with the same cab and engine has the same ready-to-travel mass.
Curb weight, payload and GVWR answer different questions
Ford defines payload as GVWR minus base curb weight. That formula explains the relationship, but an individual truck's available carrying capacity must account for its options and be checked against its own labels. Do not subtract a base cell from an unmatched maximum GVWR to manufacture a payload claim.
GVWR is a rating; curb weight is a vehicle-weight specification under defined conditions; actual GVW is what the loaded vehicle weighs. None can replace front or rear GAWR, tire, wheel, hitch or combined-weight checks.
Do not derive towing capacity from curb weight
Trailer ratings use their own engine, axle, cab, box, drivetrain, GCWR, equipment and hitch rows. A heavier or lighter curb-weight cell does not by itself establish greater towing capability.
Use Ford's matching towing selector and then test payload, axle, tire, wheel and hitch constraints. The existing F-250 towing guide preserves the 2025–2026 selector boundaries separately from this curb-weight page.
A practical verification sequence for one F-250
Record the model year, pickup versus altered body, F-250 SRW identity, engine version, cab, box, drivetrain, trim and factory options. Match those fields to the Ford row and column, then photograph the certification and tire/loading labels.
For real work, load the truck as it will travel and obtain front-axle, rear-axle and total weights at a suitable scale. Compare the measured figures with the actual truck's GVWR, GAWR, tire, wheel, hitch and towing evidence.
| Step | Evidence | Question closed |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Model year and F-250 SRW identity | Is this the correct table? |
| 2 | Engine, cab, box and 4x2/4x4 | Which base cell applies? |
| 3 | Build/options record and vehicle labels | What differs from base equipment? |
| 4 | Condition-matched scale weights | What does the truck actually weigh? |
| 5 | GVWR, GAWR, tires, wheels, hitch and trailer data | Does the complete load fit every limit? |
Canadian-market scope and VIN limits
The curb-weight matrix is published by Ford Canada and uses kilograms and pounds. That makes it useful Canadian-market source evidence, but it does not identify the equipment or certified capacity of an unseen Canadian VIN.
No VIN was supplied. This guide therefore does not claim a candidate's exact factory options, curb weight, payload, axle ratings, recall status or legal operating allowance. Retain the exact vehicle documents and provincial requirements for the intended use.
Model-year scope is intentionally narrow
These rows are presented as 2026 specifications. F-250 cab offerings, engines, drivetrains, standard equipment, packages and published weights can change across model years. Do not backfill 2025, 2023 or an older Super Duty from this table.
Historical coverage remains a separate research task requiring original year-specific specifications. A truck registered in one calendar year may also need its actual model-year documentation rather than the page date or sale date.
Source and transcription notes
The 40 pound cells were transcribed from Ford Canada's live Super Duty base-curb-weight table on 13 September 2026. The same table publishes whole-kilogram values. Ford's 2026 towing guide supplies the base-curb-weight, payload, GVW and GVWR definitions used to explain the data.
A future Ford page revision can change current specifications. Preserve the review date and original model-year context with any copied value. The live manufacturer source remains controlling over this editorial transcription.
What this table does not prove
It does not prove an individual truck's present weight, payload, GVWR, axle reserve, legal class, fuel economy, performance, towing limit, reliability or condition. It also does not quantify every option or modification.
No inventory, seller, dealer count, price or offer is inferred. The commercial marketplace remains separate and protected; use the research page to identify evidence, then evaluate a real candidate on its own documents and measurements.
Ford F-250 curb-weight questions
What is the lightest 2026 F-250 in Ford Canada's table? The 7.3L gas Regular Cab 4x2 at 5,691 lb. What is the heaviest F-250 cell? The 6.7L high-output diesel Crew Cab long-box 4x4 at 7,660 lb.
Does 4x4 always add the same amount? No; compare the exact paired cells. Is base curb weight the scale weight of my truck? Not necessarily, because options, accessories, occupants, cargo and fuel condition affect a measured truck. Can curb weight determine payload or towing by itself? No; use the actual labels and matching configuration documents.
Editorial conclusion
The defensible 2026 Ford F-250 curb-weight answer is a 40-cell matrix, not one number. Select the engine, cab, box and drivetrain together. The published base range is 5,691–7,660 lb, with exact values above for each offered table cell.
Keep base weight separate from actual vehicle weight, payload, GVWR and towing. For an individual Canadian truck, reconcile the Ford specification with its build information, labels, installed equipment and condition-matched scale weights.
Evidence note: manufacturer documents establish the specific facts and applications cited. Buying workflows and cost scenarios are DieselTrucks.ca editorial guidance. These pages do not publish measured failure rates or confirm the condition, recall status or capacity of a particular truck.
