The F-350 starts at a 5,677 lbs curb weight. [0]

Which is ~2.8 US tons, or ~2.6 metric tons.

The heaviest possible configuration is 8,587 lbs, which is still "only" 3895 kg, or 3.9 metric tons.

Correct. I was looking at a source that put it just under 6000 pounds and did a goofball swap to tons. I do know that a ton is 2000 pounds but somehow it came out wrong.
