How the figure moved since 2015
The lightest 2015 record is 4,685 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 5,313 lbs — 628 lbs heavier (13.4%).
At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 5,313 lbs against 4,685 lbs in 2015, a 628 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.
Front and rear axle loads
At 55/45, the 5,313 lbs puts about 2,922 lbs on the front axle and 2,391 lbs on the rear — 531 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.
The two axles are not the same width either: 64.2 in of track at the front against 63.8 in at the rear, 0.4 in narrower behind.
