W250 & W350 weights?

What does a W250 and W350 club cab weigh?

I though there was a previous post on this, but I couldn't find one. Just curious.

Thanks!

Terry,

I just did a search and got a couple of responses. There was a post by Bushwaker on 5/7/02 and one guy said his W250 was right at 6500#. My D250 completly empty was 5600 and with some fuel and goodies at the race track was 6200 without me in it. Your W250 has a little more weight in the front with the differental up there.



To do a search for this, put "weight" in the block and search the first gen section. Enter 1 month ago and newer for a date and then hit search.

The W-250 I had weighed 5810lbs. with no passengers and a full fuel tank. It's interesting to see the difference in what everyone's truck weighs because of tool boxes, bumpers, etc. It seems like some people have so many add-ons that they are almost at GVWR all the time (which wouldn't leave much room for a camper or anything). I'm also interested in what kind of difference the club cab makes.

Thanks guys!

Terry, my truck is a 93 W350 Club Cab. When I left the dump the other day the empty scale weight was 7300 lbs. This was with me, my friend, and his daughter in the truck and 2/3 tank of fuel. I also have a bunch of other GVW killers such as: oversize tires, spare tire, running boards, bed rails, bed mat, custom HD rear bumper and 3 point hitch, toneau cover, lund visor, etc. etc. Although I can still throw a camper in the rear and be just fine.

That is where having a dually makes all the difference.



Hope that helps, Ken

Ken,

What size tires are you running?

You're right, if I was going to buy a slide-in camper I'd get a dually. Do you use that as your daily driver?

Terry, 235/85/16's. About the largest you can go without rubbing in the rear (and this is tire specific at that). My intention is to eventually get a camper for family trips, etc. All the research I did was pretty consistent in that if a camper in the plans a dually is pretty much a necessity. Lot's of folks get a 3/4 ton for a camper and have to learn the hard way that you will bust your Max GVW in a heart beat. I work at home so I am not out driving everyday but I do drive it around town on a regular basis.
