What is the average DRY (empty) weight of a 3500 4x4 ext cab? I scaled my truck Sat. it weighed 7,500 #'s. Had half tank a fuel and all my CHIT in it (rail to rail tool box loaded) ........The reason I ask same specs less CHIT in it, and my 98 scaled 7,800+ #'s...... Not only do I have a superior truck but man it's light...1 HP for every 25#'S pre "JUICE"......Is this close or was the scale off ?..... :D :D :D

I just had my truck weighed at a CAT certified scale and with about 10 gallons of fuel and myself sitting in it, it weighed in at 7750 pounds. I also had the two toolboxes mounted in the bed that I would estimate weighed 75 to 100 pounds each. Hope this helps, Scott
