Curb weights sourced from the NHTSA Canadian Vehicle Specifications database and recorded per body style, with fluids and a full fuel tank but no occupants or cargo.

Front and rear axle loads

At 57/43, the 2,549 lbs puts about 1,453 lbs on the front axle and 1,096 lbs on the rear — 357 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: 59.4 in of track at the front against 59.8 in at the rear, 0.4 in narrower in front.

How the figure moved since 2015

The lightest 2015 record is 2,478 lbs; the lightest 2024 record is 2,549 lbs — 71 lbs heavier (2.9%).

At the top of the range the 2024 file reaches 2,549 lbs against 2,493 lbs in 2015, a 56 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.
