Default truck weight

What is the weight on the truck? The sticker on the door says 9000 lbs GVWR is that the empty weight or the max cargo + the truck?

thats number is the gross vehical weight rating, meaning thats how much it can leagaly weigh fully loaded. mine is a 98 ext. cab long bed and with a full tank of fuel and all my tools in my tool box it pushes 7300lbs just to give u an idea of about what it migh weigh

GVW9000 is the max weight of truck and cargo, I'm pretty sure. It weighs around 6840, plus the 2160 (cargo) is 9000lb. I weighed my truck/trailer it was 14,990 with the GTX in the trailer.

ORIGINAL: Drew

so what did the game warden say with the alligators you had
Dam you got a few nice one's there, they were all taged so I was covered, now if I had one without then it's a differant picture.

But do you know I never seen a game warden besides on the road in there trucks or ever had my fishing licence checked, maybe just lucky but it wouldn't have mattered I was legal, now if I let my fishing licence expire one day, that would be the day let me see it. LOL
