Default Vehicle Weight

I'm getting ready to install my Hypertec Hyperpac touchscreen and would like to know the best way to find out my vehicle curb weight without driving many miles to the nearest scale. Can I trust my manual? Can I trust the web-sites I've visited? Ishaving the weight exact,that significant? Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Thanks,

That sticker is Gross Vehicular Weight, meaning the most you can weigh, safely, with full load in bed and all passengers.

My 04 QC 4X4 weights 5860 with driver.

According to Hypertech, the Gross weight displayed on the door is not the curb weight and is not what I want. That's ok, I'll just drive to the scales. I appreciate you guys taking the time...

I would just weigh it. Costs 8 bucks at a CAT scale.
