Can this weight be right?!?!
So I loaded up some old junk and took a ride to the town dump yesterday. You pay by the ton so they weigh you going in and coming out. What they are showing as tare is just me and 1/2 tank of dies...

My 88 ext cab 4x with a BB was 5800 lbs. 96 CC 6.5td was 6600 lbs. 05 CC dually with dmax was 7300 lbs. 81 an 2000 reg cab base models under 5000 es....yes recent trucks no matter the brand are heavier than past year's.
This is both good and bad honestly.
I pay fees based on gross here in WaSt. Tare is needed, as that is what is used to determine min gross wieght you must buy. Ie tare times 1.5 to next highest ton. Using dually 05 as an example, 7300 x 1.5 = 10,950 or 12,000 minimum tag to purchase. Manufacture have is 11400. I was licensed and legal to 14000.
My reg cabs are/were licensed at 8000. NOT legal to 8600 door tag.
