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 58/42, the 4,392 lbs puts about 2,547 lbs on the front axle and 1,845 lbs on the rear — 702 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: 65.0 in of track at the front against 65.4 in at the rear, 0.4 in narrower in front.

How the figure moved since 2015

The lightest 2015 record is 4,277 lbs; the lightest 2016 record is 4,392 lbs — 115 lbs heavier (2.7%).

At the top of the range the 2016 file reaches 4,392 lbs against 4,277 lbs in 2015, a 115 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.

What is not in the record

EPA files 3 separate 2016 entries for the model, spanning 19–20 mpg combined, covering 3 engine and drive combinations (3.5L 6-cyl AWD; 3.7L 6-cyl AWD; 3.7L 6-cyl FWD) plus their transmission choices, while NHTSA weighs the body once. Engine and gearbox choice is therefore not reflected in the figure above.
