So, how heavy is your truck?

There have been lots of posts about MPG loaded and unloaded.

Well, when unloaded how heavy is your truck.

Mine is 9300 lbs with one person (me) on board.

I have 2 tool boxes, 5th wheel hitch, goose-neck, 5 bumper plus all the needed things to live in the truck for weeks at a time like heaters, porta potties, tools, bedding, TV, VCR, satellite antenna CB and more.

at 9300 lbs at 65 MPH I get about 17 MPG!

So how much does your truck weigh?
