Front and rear axle loads

At 59/41, the 4,387 lbs puts about 2,588 lbs on the front axle and 1,799 lbs on the rear — 789 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 64.6 in at the rear, 0.4 in narrower behind.

How the figure moved since 2015

The lightest 2015 record is 4,427 lbs; the lightest 2018 record is 4,387 lbs — 40 lbs lighter (0.9%).

At the top of the range the 2018 file reaches 4,387 lbs against 4,427 lbs in 2015, a 40 lbs reduction — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.

What is not in the record

EPA files 4 separate 2018 entries for the model, spanning 19–20 mpg combined, covering 4 engine and drive combinations (2.7L 6-cyl FWD; 2.7L 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.
