Mine is a regular Cab shortbed. A RCSB 2x2 would be even lighter.

 

Yes his is a Regular cab, mine is pretty close to most of my buddies that have them,(crew Cab) no side bars, no rear cover , 20's just like it comes from dealer with me and ,I think a half of a tank

 

mine weighed in at 5580 at the county landfill empty subtract me and it would be 5440 (09 quad cab, 4.7l , side steps)

 

My '06 QC 4X4 Nightrunner Hemi weighed in at 5500lbs almost exactly.

 

whats the diffrence in weight between the 4.7l and the 5.7l?

 

They are accurate.

 

Weighed my 09 CC TRX 2WD 4.7L at work the other day, me out of the truck and about 1/2 a tank of gas. 5240 lbs. Was kind of shocked they weighed that much so I went and weighed my 04 Dakota QC 2WD 3.9L and it tipped the scales at 4140 lbs.

 

Finally weighed mine and was shocked too. Took it to a QT with the Cat Certified Scales. Found out that my 1/2 ton 4x4 Ram (standard cab long bed) with the 4.7 and a full tank of fule tips the scales at 5420!

If I load up my 4 wheeler and gear it is over 3 tons!

 

Half ton actually doesn't refer to the weight of the truck, it's a loose reference to the payload of the truck. That is- it was a loose reference to the payload of the trucks back in the day when payload was less & closer to 1/2 ton.

 

My landfill scale puts me at 6,200 "empty" (driver, plus topper, plus gas). 2500 QC 4x4 Hemi. I think my 1500 was about 600lbs less.

A truck scale put me at 13,500 total with passengers + dogs + trailer + camping stuff (including a large kennel).

Landfill scales should be accurate... they use then in - out weight to charge the large trucks. Since they are used "in trade", they are most likely certified by the state as well.
