The link shows the Flareside 3 pounds heavier than the Styleside.
I have seen other tables that list the Flareside anywhere from 60 to 80 pounds heavier.
The only diff with all other things being equal is the fiberglass outerwall verus sheetmetal. The fiberglass would be lighter but there is more of it which offsets that diffierence.
Whether it is 3 pounds or 80 pounds, the flareside has always been the heavier vehicle in all the data I've seen.
