Has anyone had their truck weighed? I was shocked, no passengers and full tank of gas (33 gallon) they told me 6040lbs. I only have a bed cover and a few hand tools, If this is correct that only leaves 1060lbs for a payload, definitely not enough.

My door sticker says 1428lbs

Config and options? Trim? ect etc? I haven't weighed mine yet but I'm betting its around 6,000 lbs. My Tundra was 6,000 dead nut with two guys, and just my tools I carried with me for emergencies, probably 200 lbs worth. It wasn't a crew cab like my Ram is though, it was the smaller Double Cab.

Was the driver in the truck? I know you said no passengers. Did you weigh at a certified cat scale?

4x4 Limited, no one was in vehicle. It was weighed at a local gravel pit.

The results are in, Fully fueled 5860 lbs. much better than first weigh in..

My door sticker says 1461lbs payload.

Tonneau cover, bed cross bin and all tools are 170lbs.

So right off the lot it would weigh 5650lbs.

Thats within 11lbs of what it should way, according to the sticker

Now THAT makes sense. You should let the guys at the gravel pit know that they need to recalibrate their scale!
