Default I weighed my truck last night

I must say its about 300-400 pounds lighter than i expected. I went to the scale with a full tank of gas with my subs, bed cover and my self in the truck and it came out to 4440.... Not to bad for a fully loaded weight added extended cab , also one thing i found that was kind of suprising to me is that a obs ext cab weighs the same as a nbs single cab.

Your truck sounds heavy anyway. My RC weighed in at 4300lbs with me and half tank of gas. No weight removal either. Is yours 4wd?

No, it is 2wd. It does have a spray in bedliner and a rolltop bedcover. Is yours a stepside? I just noticed it was an obs truck. That explains the weight difference.
