Truck weight

[Frickenwirthles]

I just took out my 88 suburban out to the gravel pit to weigh it on the scale. 5800 with me, my girlfriend, a 70lb subwoofer box, and other misc. junk. Any body else done this before? I want to compare how much my beast weighs compared to k5's and shortbox, longbox, etc.

GOOD LAWRD!!!..i need to put my k5 on a diet! i make a dump run once a month, and have to weigh in and weigh out.. and the last time i went there, my weight empty(going out) was 6,328lbs...!! thats with me, a fullsize 35 inch spare, a tool box, a 3 1/2 ton floor jack, 4 tow straps, jumper cables, tire iron, spare parts, and a set of snow chains...

My '89 Burb was right in the same area, with 14bff and 33's on steel rims, tools, and 12" sub.

Sheoldeblaze, do they weigh you on the same scale in and out? If so they might not worry about accuracy they just measure the difference. The best place to go is a truck scale, they are always accurate, just hit one on the side of the highway during quite hours.

I weighed my blazer at a truck scales a while back and it weighed 5880 with a full tank of gas, no spare, D60, 14ff, and that was without me in it.

 

[Frickenwirthles]

Oh yea, I guess I did only have about half a tank when I weighed in at 5800.

Last i scaled my Jimmy it was 1500 kg over the front wheels, 1200Kg over the rear. (3300lbs front, 2640lbs rear) 5940 lbs total.

6.2 (dual batts), 465/205, D60, 14 FF, 39.5" TSL's, full cage and tube bumpers, hardtop on, full tank of fuel and me in it. I can drop 300-400lbs for trail though...

Stock '98 dodge/cummins with ranch hand bumpers---7200lbs

 

[Frickenwirthles]

Well, I guess 7200 isn't too bad when you look at a Ford excursion, my buddy weighed his in at just shy of 9000!
