Its a 2000 3/4 ton quad cab, single rear wheel.
I'm looking for a new camper, and all the weight police are telling my to "do the math"
My total weight available is 8800 lbs., so if the truck weighs 6000 lbs, I have 2800 left over for a camper, I think...

 

i'm not real sure, but 7800 sticks in my mind,

i did a search on weight and came up with this post, i know it's not the same truck but it would be close

My truck weighed in at 7900lbs. Including me(220lbs) and 3/4 tank of fuel.

Mine with me 140lbs and 3/4 tank was 7300

 

7300 is about right where it should weigh

 

hmmm, 7300 lbs - 8800 lbs means I can buy a camper that weighs 1500 lbs.
uhhh riiiiight.

 

I'm guessing that the Curb Weight of your truck should be right around 6000lbs - 6500 lbs. 2WDs are not nearly as heavy a 4WD.

 

They said mine weighs just under 7000 lbs.

 

a 2005 2500 4+4 quadcab weight is 6800lbs i had to weigh mine ,bought in reno.

 

I'm at 6920 lbs. with a full tank of fuel, empty. With my camper loaded on, ready to go camping I'm at 9880 lbs. Now that doesn't include the weight of the trailer loaded with the quads, race fuel, fire wood and misc. items. At that point I'm about 13,000 to 14,000 lbs or so.......

 

My truck weighs right around 7k lbs. His is a 3/4 ton, but he is also loaded. Mine is a bare bones truck, so I'm gonna bet they are gonna be pretty close to each other.

 

Pick the one closest to yours from this previous thread!

Or better yet, pull onto any state truck scales. They will know why your there....and it's free, around here anyway!

My 01 is basically the same as yours,scaled 6540 with me(250) and full fuel tank.Remember to add weight of all passengers that will be with you and any tools,etc. Best bet is to load truck and scale it then you will have best info.Do not let the irritating weight police bother you that much but don't get carried away either.

 

Why don't you weigh it? In my part of Oregon, the state leaves the truck scales turned on, so I can just pull drive on, and get a quick weigh. Also, the local dump, which is a transfer station, weighs you before and after dumping, and charges the weight difference, I just ask what the second measurment was. Finally, if you are in a larger city, go to the Cat scales at the truck stop, and pay for a weight. Then you know for sure.
