Default How much do these weigh?

I was j/w on the weights of our trucks, and I have never seen any definate numbers.

Autotrader says curb is like 3880 on a rcsb.... but that isn't much to go by.
Stepside beds are made of plastic/fiberglass (something like that) so they must make it somewhat lighter, correct?

How much does an ex-cab add over a rc?

Any thoughts?

My 01 RCSB weighs #4,320 with a manual trans , stepside bed, 20" wheels. The 20" wheels added #100 and the stepside bed was around #75 lighter than my fleetside was before I swapped. Hope this helps

regular cab vs. extended I believe is around 400lbs but don't quote me on that. My truck weights around 4700lbs with the 20's and everything.

commonly a rcsb 2wd is 4100-4300 and an ecsb 2wd is 4500-4800.

my stepside regular cab 4wd weighed 4550 without the spare or tailgate...no driver. I couldn't believe how heavy it is. The scale is a calibrated electronic scale at the local track. My '02 Z06 weighted 3120 on the same scale.

My RCSB stepside 2wd weighs ~4150lbs without me in it and about 10 gallons of gas.

I thought mine was the lighter config being a RCSB stepside bed, 17's up front and slicks on the factory tires out back. No spare tire, tailgate or my 90lb speaker box I weighed in at 4200 lbs without me in it. This was on an old doctor type scale at the track. Oh ... that was with the tow hitch on there too.

If I took the spare off and the tailgate off I'd be about 100lbs lighter.
