I started looking up some curb weights to see what the highest I could find for a consumer grade vehicle (So no 15 passenger vans or F-550's), I found this:

F-450 Crew Cab, Long Bed, DRW - 8611 lbs.

Mercedes AMG C63 6x6 - 8323 lbs.

Can you find a heavier vehicle?

I really doubt that the PROMBRON' Iron.Diamond only weighs 5566.67 lbs

Is the F550 really consumer grade though? That's a lot of payload for a guy taking cans to the recycling center. Also, Ford considers it a commercial vehicle.

Class A RVs can go up to 22k lbs and are certainly consumer grade. This Tiffin is up there.

It isn't exactly a car or truck though, it's more a bus, lol. I should've specified that it should be something you might daily drive.

Yes, if you'll re-read my post you'll see I am referring to the 450, lol.

Who might daily drive an F450?? They're serious tow vehicles. Seems like this is just going to devolve into a list of weird vehicles and vague yes/no judgement calls on whether they count.

No really... Trucks and SUV's are the only real contenders here anything bigger are chassis cabs and the like and I am excluding those.

Wow, sorry about that. I could have sworn the 55o was the one in your list. I need to go back to bed.

No really... nobody's going to daily-drive an F450 as personal transportation.

Most won't, I agree. But it's just one model shy of a chassis cab (F550) which I would argue is where the real cut-off lies. It's the difference between definitely-commercial-vehicle and likely-commercial-vehicle.

People buy them to tow massive luxury fifth-wheel trailers. They don't daily-drive them. So by excluding RVs with the "daily driver" rule you exclude these as well.

I suppose I was aiming more for, someone that doesn't need this for work might own one, yes it's over the top, but that's never stopped anyone. It also isn't a home on wheels. But really it's as simple as: I don't want to include RV's in this post.

Some people own F550s for towing fifth-wheels. Point is the cutoff is arbitrary so "highest curb weight" is meaningless.
