Pretty heavy ride dude.

Mine weighted empty with only ~three gallons on the tank 3300kg which is 7275 lb.

And I have only 285/75 A/T tires.

These '06s are heavy. On the CAT scales, mine came out to 8100 pounds with me and a full tank of fuel (75 gallons). The front axle was 4760 and the back was 3340.

Mine was 7600, 3/4 tank of fuel. Probably closer to 8k now that I put a second tool box on it.

Because I bought my 4.5 out of state (Oregon), I had to get an official weight for Kalifornia to register it. Somehow everyone has to pay ""Commercial weight" in the republik of Kalifornia. Every 1000 lbs increases the fees. After getting an initial "just checking"" weight of a little over 7000 lbs, I let my tank get down to fumes and went and tried again. I got it to weigh 6980! Made it official and thats what my truck weighs according to the Kalifornia DMV.

Must be a pretty slim co-pilot!

You guys are lucky - I've been trying to get both trucks back down from 10K# to their GVWR......

Mine weighed in on the CAT scales at 4840 front axle and 3200 rear for a total of 8040lbs. These 3rd gens are pretty heavy.
