Weighed my truck

So I took everything out of it, took off the spare tire, the bed extender, everything out of the glove box, and had a empty gas tank.
It weighed 3940 Lbs.
Isnt that a little heavy?

 

The '09 PreRunner Access Cab shows as 3835 pounds on the Toyota website....

 

What should it weight?

Maybe some gremlins are living in your framework?

 

All the extra sound deaden material that they put in vehicles today make the heavy.

 

how heavy can glove box items be?

 

that sounds actually light... I think my truck weighs low 4s

 

no that sounds cool, i had to weigh my for DMV and she was 3900.

 

Most of your mods add weight. You have 18" wheels and tires on there.

 

it's light, mine was 4361 with full tank, no driver

Front Driver 1286
Front Pass. 1186
Rear Driver 925
Rear Pass. 964
Total 4361

note that in the rear, it's heavier on the passenger side. But overall, heavier on driver's side, especially with driver in.

 

damn, you got a fat family

 

I don't understand why that is. The gas tank is more oriented towards the drivers side, right?

 

Muffler and tubing.

 

I was also skeptical, but I called back the shop where I got it weighted.

Basically, a truck/car is like a chair, where it will always be diagonally heavy. So if the front is a lot heavier on the driver's side (like the tacoma), the rear will be heavier on the passenger side in the back. Overall, it's still heavier on the driver's side if you look only side to side.

Here are the weight with me inside. When I sit in, 76% of my weight is on the driver's side and 24% on the pass side... 64% gets to the front and 36% to the rear. The individual split to each wheel are below:

Front Driver 1387 (+101, 52.9%)
Front Pass. 1207 (+21, 11.0%)
Rear Driver 969 (+44, 23.0%)
Rear Pass. 989 (+25, 13.1%)
Total 4552 (+191, 100%)

you can then calculate what you want as you know the distribution, passenger side should split the same front to back but switched left to right.

 

yea I wanted to weigh it completely empty cause im getting paid to move X amount of weight. so the greater the dif = more money!!!

 

when my bro did that we took it too the weigh station with 20 gal trash cans full of water along with all his other stuff, USN

 

Ya'll have way too much time on your hands....

 

just military guys trying to get some xtra money from the gov't

 

Absofuckinglutly right. Gotta get what we can from them.

 

Thanks for explaining. That makes total sense.
