it is a 4x4.
Staus went to 4200 (shipped) a couple of weeks ago. So it made it on a train before the virus shutdown.. But my sources have now gone quiet. I hope this virus thing doesn't hold it up somehow.


OK so it's a 4x4 DRW and it weighs 8,000# ???


I believe I said "ABOUT 8000#"

What do you think it weighs?




I hit the DOT scales with 7/8 tank of fuel with the wife and I when my 15 DRW was new.

Front axle 5,380#

Rear Axle 3,634#

Combined 9,014#

Without us about 8,600+



Based on this You should weigh even more than me.

"my 2500 weighs 8273 lbs with a payload of 3077 as per door sticker."
I'm not too concerned about it. It will do more than I need it to.

Mine came in Monday morning and in my hands by noon. I'd expect yours most any day now. There was another guy on a GM forum in western Canada that had the same build week and he got his the same day as I.

For anyone splitting hairs, my 2500 weighs 8273 lbs with a payload of 3077 as per door sticker.
