It will definitely raise your heart rate , especially when you are on the brakes , and you start sliding sideways , so you let off , and then repeat , I came off a couple a bit faster then wanted . Or climbing and spin out , I got to when I’d lose momentum I’d let off throw it in reverse, and pop the clutch to catch me going backwards , that also raised the heart rate . Or spin out kill the engine , both feet on the brake , and sliding backwards, that was exciting .

I just took it across the scales this afternoon.

Myself, a full tank of gas and two spare tires in the bed weigh roughly 400 pounds making the truck about 5000 lbs dry.
The truck also has an aftermarket auxiliary gas tank but it is empty so it might not even weigh 5000 lbs from the factory.

So with a 7700 lb GVW rating it is capable of carrying around 2300 lbs.

Its kind of a light weight for a 3/4 ton truck.

Those older trucks are definitely light compared to today. I used to have a '72 F100 2WD with a GVWR of just 5000 lbs, not much more than an empty, stripped down F150 today. Empty and from the factory it had to weigh under 4000.
