It says, "MAXIMUM GVW RATING
                             4600"

nothing about net/curb/base weight (it does offer net horsepower 
figures, trim & paint codes ... )

I'd like to hear from folks who have actually weighed their FC's, empty.

Know Your Weights

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
Is the maximum recommended weight for a vehicle, including: the weight 
of the vehicle itself, fuel and other fluids, passengers, and all cargo.

Base Curb Weight
Is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all 
standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo or any 
optional equipment.

Payload
Is the combined, maximum allowable weight of cargo, and passengers that 
the truck is designed to carry. To calculate the payload of a vehicle, 
take the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and subtract the Curb Weight.

Thanks,

Bill
