Mine weighed about that when I had the 60E. I think it was about 5050. It's about 4950 with me now in full trim. The T56 and lack of a center seat/console really helped a lot. I striped a bunch of **** off it (tailgate, spare, sway bar, back seat etc) to see what I could get it down to. I was hoping for around 4500. I got on the scale saw 4512, I proceeded to get all excited and then realized that the digital #'s were screwey. It was really 4812. That was with an 1/8th of a tank too.
