    I've owned this thing for the past 3 years and always wondered. I've seen a bunch of numbers floating around, anywhere from 300 - 400, but nothing from a scale. When I sold it this past weekend, I took the opportunity to throw a scale under it (zero'd out for all lifting material).

    Config:
    6' Bed
    Front flip down window
    Passenger side windoor
    Driver side sliding window
    Fiamma Awning on the back

    Total weight: 368 pounds pretty close to my 350 pound estimate.

    Glass is heavy compared to fiberglass, so I'm sure a windowless one would weigh less.

    Maybe a little. My goal was to take the guessing game out of it though ;)

    Mine was one of the last ones built in 2015, so it was still in really good shape. I sold with with a spare torsion bar and a fully equipped SLO sails rain fly. The total for everything was $6k.

    Nice.

    Mine has the aftermarket bar and came with the SLO fly. Plan to really build it up this spring. right now it's still pretty basic. Headed to Winrock Tn. from Bucks County Pa on Wed. this week for my first longer road trip with it. :D

    Mine's an older one.. 12 or 13 I think. :notsure:
