Mine is a 1996 K2500/7.4L/4.1 Suburban SLT optioned (everything)
Curb 'test weight' is 5,250...as per the 2014 SMOG test and
certification. Data provided by GM to Calif DMV and is an official
document. So doing the simple math 8,600 - 5,250 = 3,350
cargo/payload, right? :S
I've weighed my Sub with me (180), toolbox (+200), misc stuff (+50)
at the local garden supply. County weights and measure sticker for
that year, so certified by the county to be correct. 7,200 lbs. How
many components/sub-systems would I have to unbolt to get mine down
to it's curb?
Don't know why mine is categorized as a 'high emitter profile', but
it passes with lower readings than most cars in the state
My drivers door labels. One is the GVWR/GAWR front and rear and one that
belongs on a half ton Sub, but it's on my 3/4 ton... Other is the glove
box label with all options my Sub left the factory with
GVWR label
Wacky tire PSI label. Both half ton GVWR, but 3/4 ton class tires???
Glove box label with all optional equipment my Sub left the factory with
A 'curb' Sub would have nothing on this label or very few items
