It will be interesting to see the weight difference of your new truck. For sure, diesel, 4x4, more doors, longer bed, and people add weight.
You will see the truth data here. I'll set it up just like the old silverado and run it across the same scales.
My guess is the new truck is 1400#s more than the old one. New truck is a 2016 GMC 3500HD WT, double cab (not crew cab - double is the smaller of the 2), 4WD(!), same 6.0L gas (but the new one has an aluminum block and 60 more HP).
Stayed true to the WT theme as this has the rubber floor mats, but has power windows and locks and on-star with wifi hotspot (a nod to the wife and daughter)
There were 2 different SRW GAWR with the 6.0L: 10k and 11k. I made sure I found one with the 11k MGVW, though after deep inspection between the 2 I am at a loss as to the difference with the possible exception of the tires. They had the same spring pack in the rear with overloads.
Will be fun finding out - I'll keep you posted.
