I've lost another 50-60 since this.. This weigh lacked antifreeze and nitrous bottle.. Not your average weight reduction tho..

I do not haul or tow anything. The most I might use the bed for is a pile of bicycles to hit the trails. My truck needs Jenny Craig.

Take bed off..tailgate is heaviest single part of the bed.... Lose everything inside but driver seat... Lose the spare, get a set of 28lb rims... Fiberglass front end.... How light are you tryin to get..... 4400lbs for a truck is fairly light

What George said, my current truck is 4470 with zero weight reduction. My old Sierra was lower option and weighs 4340.
