These figures represent curb weight—the weight of the vehicle empty of passengers and cargo. They can vary with option packages, cab/bed configuration, and manufacturing tolerances. For an exact number on a specific truck, check the manufacturer’s sticker on the door jamb or the VIN-specific data.
Note: GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) is higher than curb weight, reflecting the maximum allowable weight of the vehicle when fully loaded with passengers and cargo.
