Default Anybody ever actually weighed a 2wd Ext cab?

Just wondering, I've seen anywhere from 4500 to 5400 lbs as the weight, just for my own peace of mind.

Unladen Weight Rating, Should be on your registration. This will get you close. This is how it works in CA.

Unladen Weight

660. The "unladen weight" of a vehicle is the weight equipped and ready for operation on the road including the body, fenders, oil in motor, radiator full of water, with five gallons of gasoline or equivalent weight of other motor fuel; also equipment required by law, and unless exempted under Section 66l, any special cabinets, boxes or body parts permanently attached to the vehicle, and any machinery, equipment or attachment which is attendant to the efficient operation of the body or vehicle. Unladen weight shall not include any load or any machinery or mechanical apparatus, such as, but not limited to, wood saws, well-drilling machines, spray apparatus, tow truck cranes, and grinding equipment. The unladen weight of a vehicle shall have no application in determining any fee under this code or the Revenue and Taxation Code other than Section 9400.

I've weighed mine a few times 5100#-5250# depending on fuel tank.
200# driver onboard +
bed rails,nurf bars, and gooseneck ball and plate=? 150#
I think step side's are alittle lighter due to plastic fenders.
that 4500 must be without tailgate, backseat, and passenger headlight.

You can weigh anything on wheels at a truckstop for $7.(Loves,Flying J, Petro) They all have CAT or some other type platform scale.

i weighed mine today at the waste management dump, i came in at 4700 pounds... without me in the truck. back seat and tailgate were on, just missing the spare and lowering stuff. seems kinda light and by no means do i trust their scales 100 percent. but i am sure it is close. also, i have a step side.
