How much does a 1991 Dodge D150 weigh?
A 1991 Dodge D150's curb weight generally falls between about 3,400 and 4,400 pounds, depending on configuration. Lighter two-wheel-drive regular-cab models sit near the lower end, while four-wheel-drive and extended-cab variants are heavier.
Weight for a specific truck isn't fixed; it depends on the cab style, bed length, drivetrain, and engine. This article outlines typical ranges and how to find your exact figure.
Weight ranges by configuration
Below is a practical guide to curb weight for common 1991 D150 setups. The figures shown are approximate curb weights (no occupants or cargo) for stock configurations from that model year.
- Regular Cab, 2-Wheel Drive (2WD): approximately 3,400–3,800 pounds
- Club Cab (Extended Cab), 2WD: approximately 3,800–4,100 pounds
- Regular Cab, 4-Wheel Drive (4WD): approximately 4,000–4,400 pounds
- Club Cab, 4WD: approximately 4,100–4,600 pounds
These ranges reflect common stock configurations and illustrate how drivetrain and cab style influence weight. Exact figures can vary with engine choice, bed length, and optional equipment.
Understanding the numbers your D150 shows
To determine the precise weight for a particular truck, start with the doors’ data sticker (tire and loading information) and the curb weight listed there. If you have access to the VIN, you can also consult archives or Mopar enthusiast databases that map original build specifications to approximate curb weights.
Finding the exact weight for your vehicle
For an exact measurement, weigh the truck on a certified scale with no payload. This yields the curb weight. Weighing at a commercial truck scale provides a precise baseline, against which you can compare your payload when carrying passengers and cargo.
Restorers and buyers may also reference vintage Dodge/Dodge Truck data sheets or period magazines that published curb weights by model and trim for the 1991 D150. The ranges above are intended as a practical guide for enthusiasts seeking a general sense of how much these trucks weighed when new.
Payload versus curb weight
Payload capacity equals the GVWR minus the curb weight. Heavier configurations typically offer less payload. When planning restoration or usage, understanding this balance helps avoid overloading the truck and preserves its handling characteristics.
Summary
The weight of a 1991 Dodge D150 varies by configuration, with typical curb weights ranging roughly from 3,400 to 4,600 pounds depending on cab style, bed length, and drivetrain. For an exact figure, check the door data sticker or the VIN-based records, or weigh the vehicle on a certified scale. This variation is normal for a full-size pickup from that era, reflecting multiple trim levels and options.
