Don't weigh it empty now that you know the GVWR.
That truck weighs close to 8000lbs EMPTY!!! Cummins + 4x4 + quad cab = about 7800lbs.
You've only got 1000-1200lbs of "real-world" payload on that truck.
I wouldn't consider that # 'real-world', more like legal world. In the real world, the truck is capable of carrying much more safely. Just not with Dodge putting their neck out there to say so. Have you seen the size of the brakes on this truck?!??!! They could stop a logging truck loaded coming down a grade!!
