Question Is my truck a Weight Freak???

My truck has weighed in @ 4535 w/me ( 185 lbs ) and 1/4th tank...Thats with the hitch, spare, and Tailgate removed!!!
Other guys I've seen post are almost 100lbs heavier w/similar weighing driver!!!

Both times I've weighed 4535 and 4536 @ NHRA tracks!!!!

Lighninrod said in another post that his truck weighed 4630 and he weighs 170lbs...also had the same items removed from his truck and weighed on a certified scale!!!!!!

When I weighed 155, my truck weighed 5000 lbs, 3 sandbags and a couple helmets. The only thing missing from the truck was the muffler. Then again, I had the tonneau, bedliner and the truck is underlined for rust prevention.

Now I weigh 175. PRetty cool eh.

WOW!

at full weight with me in the truck (I'm about 215) I weighed in at 5150 pounds! I took that box out, bed cover, tailgate, passenger seat, rims and tires (20 inch), and I'm down to 4665 pounds last I wieghed her. But I race with about 1/2 a tank of gas too so that make its different too.

I'm hoping to get a roll pan installed soon, that should save me 70 to 80 pounds I hope. get a plastic racing seat, maybe another 30 pounds, and then make a smaller gas tank so I can run with 5 gallons or so.
