Posted February 20, 201411 yr I stopped off at a scale today, 8430 without me it in. That's a full tank of fuel, and normal winter stuff in the toolbox, and a cleaned out cab/bed. Considering I am running around 250lbs more tire/wheel than I used to that isn't bad.
February 20, 201411 yr Owner Last time across the scale with MoparMom, Diesel, and myself in the 1996 Dodge Ram it hit a even 6,000 pound (GVWR 6,400) Bed got my fire bag, tools, chains, plus the wood/vinyl deck tonneau cover. I need to re-weigh the 2002.
February 20, 201411 yr I usually stay around 180lbs. + or - 2 or 3 year round!!!! Last time I weighed Mighty Whitey she tipped the scale right at about 8000lbs. with normal gear in there………me included, but without dogs and dog training equipment that gets taken in and out as needed. I have my truck loaded with 5 guys, 3 dogs and whatever gear could get stuffed around the dog crates………………..pulling a car hauler with 4 ATV's, coolers, hunting gear, etc. Didn't scale that trip, but the truck alone with the 4 other guys (fat boys) and the dogs and gear had to go 10,000lbs. + Edited February 20, 201411 yr by dorkweed
February 20, 201411 yr Started out the year tipping the scale at 280 started working the flywheel harder in my elipticle and have dropped to 265 in 6 weeks. Or did you mean my Pickup......... I had my 02 across scales so many times while power pulling I could have told you what it weighed at any point, I have never been across a scale with either of my current rigs without a trailer behind them.

February 21, 201411 yr I was 262 at the 1st of the year but backslid up to 267. My last tare tickets showed around 7300 lbs. at the gravel pit.
February 21, 201411 yr Owner Last known weight on the 02 was 7,300 to 7,500 depending on how much junk is in the back. Me... I'm just a comfortable 205 pounds. By this summer loose the last 5 pound and make 200 pounds...

February 21, 201411 yr Unless needed, I keep her stock weight and with what is needed at the time could be up to another 150 #'s ~ summer / winter. Figured why carry if I'm not using. As to actual pounds total, it was not needed yet so I never put her on the scale.
February 21, 201411 yr Without the topper I sit right about 7350 lbs. I am not sure how much that topper weighs. Its cab hieght the whole way back but its a full fiberglass body. Takes two not-so-weak people to lift. I am about 180 lbs but at about 5' 10".
February 21, 201411 yr Author You guys are making my truck feel "fat"... It's amazing how much heavier a 3rd gen is than a 2nd gen.. now I do have a few mods that add some weight (some not much, but it does add up). Front Receiver Class V Rear Receiver Rear Sway Bar Spray in Liner Air Bags 4 filters (and plumbing) more than OEM 227 lbs of extra weight for 5x19.5's. The tool box has 3 pairs of HD chains, tools, filters, recovery gear, straps, mantee's, hi-lift, and fuel additive Dodge claims the curb weight is 7600lbs.....
February 28, 201411 yr Last time I weighed mine empty was 6250 lb. with 1/2 tank of fuel and me in the truck.
