about 5,000 # empty with original bed and no winch. THe winch adds a lot of weight. From a saftey aspect assume it weighs 8,000# and plan for a trailer and tow vehicle accordingly. THat will give you a good safty margin. Do not tow it on a trailer designed for 6,000#. It will bend the trailer as it is too much. The bending often occurs on loading as the weight has not been distruited yet or when it takes a good bounce.
