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 61/39, the 2,888 lbs puts about 1,762 lbs on the front axle and 1,126 lbs on the rear — 636 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: 60.2 in of track at the front against 59.8 in at the rear, 0.4 in narrower behind.

How the figure moved since 2015

The lightest 2015 record is 2,888 lbs; the lightest 2018 record is 2,888 lbs — unchanged.

At the top of the range the 2018 file reaches 3,142 lbs against 3,516 lbs in 2015, a 374 lbs reduction — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.
