Cab/chassis vs standard DRW

Which interior PKG did you get? I can see and have heard of 1000 lbs difference between a stripped no added options, vs loaded with ALL options in a crew cab. Their were three of us with 2005 crew cab duallies on here at one time, lightest red a few option in the 71XX relm, my LS 4WD 7400 and iirc a bit over 7600 for a full leather PKG LT version.
If you WB is 6-8" longer than a typical box delete rig, that adds a few lbs for extra framing. Same if over hangs is longer....
68 gal tank vs 35-40 gal tank......all of those add up to less payload, everything else being equal per say.

I got the most basic W/T - vinyl seats/floor, it is cab/chassis with CA 60" crew cab 4x4. The odd thing is that an equivalent DRW with a standard 8ft bed lists at 6610lbs payload. I would expect to gain about 500lbs payload by deleting the bed/tailgate (?) and then lose 1230lbs by slapping on my steel flatbed (which manufacturer confirmed weighs 1230lbs). My expectation was to end up at 5880lbs. I got the 23.5 gallon extra tank so that's another 188lbs for gas and probably 40-50 for the tank itself. I have heavy mudflaps on back wheels - another 50 lbs. Finally my wife and I detract 270 lbs combined. Bumper pull WD hitch another 30-40 lbs and then underseat storage under 100 and I am at 5300lbs. As per scale I am at 5200 lbs payload so I cannot account for a 100lbs give or take. I think I am OK with that.
