Find a Public Scale and get it weighed to know for sure. A lot of variables in mods, tires, etc.

My 04.5 2500 4x4 with BFG 315s empty and 1/4 tank was around 7120lbs on Public Scales. Your lift kit will add weight and the pro comps weigh a little more probably.

 

My 06 (all stock) weighed in at 7280lbs with me. So w/o me about 7090lbs. I would say your easily 7200 (w/o you in it) with your lift and tires.

What's the bet?

 

I have a buddy with an 06 and he was saying that his was 9000 pounds but i think he thought the GVRW was his total weight, I told him no....so looks like i'll be drinking some cold beers tomarrow night....

 

My 04 with me and my tools come in just shy of 8300. I'd go with MoparNut and say your round 7200.

 

i weigh 7460 with 1/4 tank of fuel... w/out me in it.

 

I work at a place with a scale. I run across it all the time.

7000#'s new no mods 3/4 fuel

7420#'s with all mods and a 125# bedslide in the rear. With full tank of fuel.

Looks like you got that bet.

 

My 03 with lift and tires when i had it lifted weighted in at 7650lbs.

My dads 04 with his service deck and tools and such is 13,500lbs.

 

Mine with tool box, full tank of fuel (40 gallons) and me (185lbs) was right at 8000 lbs on a certified scale.

 

I'm 8500# average with both tanks full.

 

wow alot of big differances with everyones trucks depending on whats been done.

 

My 03 QC dually stock with the cap on it is 8275 and that with about 3/4 fuel
Scale was 8500 and I weigh 225

 

Haven't weight it empty but with a sled deck and two sleds, half tank of diesel and me in it 10,000lbs. Empty with me in it full of diesel i'm assuming around 8,200lbs or so.

Since it's sort of on topic, does anyone know what you can legally carry on these trucks? I'm trying to find out what i'm legally allowed to haul with my 04 3500 and found about 10 different answers. Don't want to get caught overweight.

 

me the wife a topper and a costco load was 8400
