Default Corner weights

Anyone weighed their truck at all 4 corners? Weighed mine today 55/45 F/R.

With me in the truck and the rear seat removed:

LF 1633 RF 1570 Front total 3203

LR 1471 RR 1196 Rear total 2667

Total weight 5870.

Not thrilled about the RR being 275lb lighter than the LR. It's 220lb lighter than the LR without me in the truck. There was only a few gallons of fuel in the tank.

Will do. Is your truck back together?

Doesn't seem like there should be such a large difference between my LR and RR. I am going to re-scale it to confirm. Maybe try swapping the scales around, etc.

Well, it appears that the RR will always be light unless I start moving weight around.
I also re-weighed with the 3 tonneau panels and tailgate removed which shaved off 134lbs from the 5855 that it started from today with me in the truck yielding:

1636 1589 Front total = 3225

1365 1131 Rear total = 2496

Total weight = 5721

Tailgate alone was 61lbs.
