Ok sorry it has takene so long to post. Been on Vacation. I finally got to weigh my truck this morning. This is what I got:
5740 lbs
Without myself in the truck
Little more than 1/4 tank of gas
(I will fill up later this morning and add that weight to total) estimating 160 lbs to add
I do have the following added on the truck (estimated weights)
Undercover bed cover. 75 lbs
Bed Rug. 40lbs
2" billet aluminum leveling kit. 8 lbs
1-1/2" rear blocks. 10 lbs
And I only have at most 10 lbs of "stuff" in the truck
So doing the math I figure the additional equipment just about makes up for not having a full tank.
This ii far from the 5577 curb weight advertised.
Also taking the 5740 from the 7200 gvwr I only get 1460 available cargo.
Furthermore, the tag on the drivers door says never to exceed 1383 lbs cargo
So none of it makes sense! The numbers just don't add up.
