I looked through the "optional equipment weights" PDF that was posted in the "comprehensive guide to towing" thread and pulled out the following for a Laramie Short Box:
Power Sunroof | 35 | lbs |
Wheel to Wheel Side Steps | 62 | lbs |
32 gallon fuel tank | 44 | lbs |
4 corner Air Suspension | 34 | lbs |
Rambox | 120 | lbs |
Tow Hooks | 22 | lbs |
Transfer Case Skid | 18 | lbs |
Front Suspension Skid | 9 | lbs |
Spray in Bed Liner | 26 | lbs |
I'm hoping to build a Laramie with the 5.7 bed, short bed, with the 5.7L (maybe eTorque) and the following options:
Sunroof
Rambox
ORG
BUG
4 corner air suspension
Wheel to wheel side steps
32 gal fuel tank
Given those options that's a total of roughly 370lbs (this doesn't include EVERYTHING in those options but gets close).
Considering I'm building a new truck to hopefully tow a larger camper than we have now I'm going to have to look more at the 2500s before I decide. I'd still rather have a 1500 for daily use but the payload numbers aren't looking good.
Thanks so much for everyone's help so far!
