Default Weight?

Anyone know how much a RCSB truck like mine weighs? The reason I ask is because my friend and some other kids lifted the back end of another kid's ferd ranger (an older model, very small) onto a curb in the school parking lot today and the kid ended up getting a $49 citation because of this so it got me wondering how much my truck weighed just for the hell of it so I know some of my friends won't get any thoughts while I'm in school.

This incident today made me almost feel proud I own such a heavy truck no one will prolly want to mess with it lol

Thanks

i dont know how much it weighs, but it should say inside the door jam (im guessing around 4500 lbs). this reminds me of when i was in high school, we used to move volkswagens in between 2 poles and wait for the person to come out. or, if someone parked in the wrong spot, the shop teach would send us out to put it up on jackstands......aahhhhh the good ol days. i doubt any of that would fly anymore though.

lol as the year comes to an end i plan on siran wrapping the complete hell out of one of my friend's cars with a couple other people

...we also have an island of grass and a couple of trees in our parking lot, a decent size, I just brought up the idea that anyone who has an SUV or a truck should hop the curb and park up there and just make it a complete mess with trucks half on the island and half in a parking lot space..should be some funny stuff if it goes through

haha i remembered 2 weeks ago there was a bonfire at my friend's house and me and two other buddies took ketchup and put it under one of our friend's door handle and when everyone started leaving he went to open his door and he got the ketchup on his hand and he was looking at his door handle for like 10 minutes since it was dark out and he couldn't see but he had no idea what it was until he smelled his hand lol...still has no idea who it was

it said "GVWR" on the side and it had next to it (06350lb) but there was also a "GAWR" and that said "3900lb" so I assume its the GVWR but I'm not sure what the GAWR means

Well a typical QCSB weighs about 5200 lbs (mine does anyway), so it has to be in the 4000 something at the least.
