Devilized Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Figured I would share this info. Took my 2006 to the scales today, with a half tank of gas, 170lb person in the truck, hitch and spare deleted I weighed in at 5160. So without a body in the truck she under 5k. Was pretty surprised with that. Anybody else weighed in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF-03-SS Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Many years ago while at the track mine was 5240 with 1/4 tank of gas and me at 170#'s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilized Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thank you guys for the reponse, I know the AWD does weigh more. Trying to see who's got some lower weight numbers and how they got there. A pig is a pig, just wasn't sure if that scale was correct or not. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianVRss Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I weigh in at 5050 05 AWD with heavy ass audio equipment. I'm under 5000lb with the sub box removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsanders347 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 What does the weight say on the door frame? Can't remember. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilized Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I read a ton of articles claiming the curb weight on these so I was curious and finally got it weighed. In curious if anyone made to around 4500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In curious if anyone made to around 4500? Doubt it. Not without cutting some serious weight. being 2wd would definitely help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilized Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Yeah seems like a pipe dream,i am running a 2wd so that helps. Its a truck not a car which I often remind myself. Maybe if I made the truck panels out of carbon fiber 4500 might be achieved:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianVRss Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I was looking for a composite box from the early 2000s trucks, but good luck finding one. Fiberglass or composite would be a great weight savings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilized Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Indeed but I think our trucks need the savings up front mostly and some in the middle. Try to keep the weight balanced, at least that's my thought behind it. Before I bought the SS I had an 04 Cts v and she was balanced to perfection right off the showroom floor. Moved to AZ and needed a truck. Came back to CA and miss the V but the SS has grown on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
