how much does an unloaded 2003 QC 2500 short box normally weigh?

I have seen everywhere from 5500 to 6500, but I was at the landfill the other day and had to weigh in, it came in at 8200 with a load (just the bed was full) and then I left and it was 7600 empty...are these scales way off? or do I actually way 7600lbs?

 

sounds right to me

2x4 or 4x4?

 

oh, sorry, 4x4 nothin less! so thats about right huh? man, these are heavy!

 

Sounds about right - mine is a 2004.5 w/ 8 foot flat bed, steel and was either 8360 or 8160 with me in it. I am assuming your 7600 was with you in it? These beasts ain't light, they are a hauss.

 

yeah, I was in it. the weight is an estimate, I cant remember the exact number, but it was close to that.

 

My 06 QC 4x4 short bed at the county dump weighed 6975 empty with 3/4 a full tank of fuel.

 

8160 with me in my Mega cab. If you think these trucks are heavy, should see the weight of the new Fords 6.4s. I think the F-450s are weighing in around 9500 lbs.

 

this last round, I had myself, my neighbor and all his junk in the back, and it weighed in at like 8020. and then weighed out at somewhere near 7500. so I am wondering if the scales were off, because there is no way we had 500lbs of stuff in the back. then again, there was one extra man inside.

 

My truck weighs 7180 without me. Those #s are from the scales at a landfill in Wilmington.

 

BTW, my weight at the dump was with me out of the truck.

 

Mine was 7260 on a certified scale bone dry and stock - near empty fuel tank, no cargo, no driver.

It is interesting and worth paying a few bucks at a Certified scale, e.g. Pilot or Flying-J fuel centers. They will give you front and rear axle loads. Do it empty then do it when you are loaded. I haven't done my Dodge yet, but will as the the slide in camper season starts to get close.

 

Mine weighs 7500 with me in it

 

1/4 tank of fuel and myself in it my dually weighs in at 7640lbs cat certified scale.

 

jt weighed mine last month did not take anything off and with a very low tank of fuel it was 6920 just enough to lower my registration
