How much does your truck weigh?

[Archive]

Obviously, I would like to see some "true" weights for my configurations as I have not had my truck weighed yet, but in addition, I would also like to see the weights of the different configurations for comparison. Yeah, yeah, this all goes back to who can support the heaviest slide-in campers. I think this is the only aspect where the mighty Cummins counts against you.

I forgot to add, please post GVWR as stamped on the door panel. Thanks,

My 'lil blue Ram is a featherweight. It weighs in at:

3750lbs front axle
2525lbs rear axle
6275 total.
8800 Posted GVWR

Nothing in truck, and 2/3 tank of fuel. That was before I ripped out the muffler and resonator, the overload springs, and debadged the body, so now it probably weighs right around 6200, making me legal to haul about 2600 pounds #ad

Now after adding aluminum running boards, rubber bed mat, front mount receiver, husky floor liners and a dog = 7005 @ the dump.

The Bigfoot 3000 10. 11 Slide-In Camper that I am looking at weighs 3280-lbs. I have not weighed the truck yet, but I sure want to keep it under the GVWR of 11,000-lbs. In addition it would be nice to have a little buffer so that I could bring my wife.

Hi, since the question included 'slide-in campers', I'll have to add my stats...

y2k 3500 4x4, auto, brush guard, camper package, towing package, Air-Lift Air Bags... . scale weight 7720 pounds... .

Added to that a fully loaded Lance 1130 camper, 15 gallons of propane, 40 gallons of potable water, solar panel, satellite dish... etc. , the camper weighs in at 3800 pounds...

Posted GRVW is 11,000. The total package weights in at 12,800 pounds.

When carrying the camper, we run the tires at 70 all around and 70 psi in the air bags.

We have the Plug & Power box and get 14. 8 mpg on the highway (doing the speed limit). Without the camper, the truck gets 18. 5 mpg on the highway.

Hope this helps,

Charlie
