How much does my Denali weigh?

[Dans Denali]

Has anyone had a loaded 2016 Denali over a scale? I scaled mine with my 20' enclosed trailer behind and the truck was 7640 pounds with a nearly empty bed. If correct I have over 1200 lbs tongue weight!

 

I'm guessing my empty weight is close to 6000 or maybe 6400 with wife and I with suitcases.

Dan, for the record (and for all of us actually), the wives’ contribututions are always  deminimus when calculating the truck’s payload capacity.

Exactly! That's how I've stayed married for 35 years.

i came in looking for a 'your momma' joke... leaving disappointed!

 

ha! ha!

About 5500-5600lbs for crew cab

Im thinking a loaded denali crew cab is gonna weigh in close to 5800 lbs. With a tonneau cover and tools and whatever else you keep in the truck, in the real world it will probably tip the scales at close to 6000 lbs without a driver. At 7600, you are over the truck's GVWR which I believe is 7200.

2018 SLT Premium Plus Crew Cab Standard Bed 6.6' Max Tow with 6.2L and 8L90

 

5598 lbs curb weight (as listed on Title)

 

My GVWR is 7600lbs. I have 2002 lbs of payload to use.

My 6.2L All Terrain Dbl Cab with me and half a tank is 5400lbs. For a CC SB you can easily add 250-300lbs. For work I have a CC LB 6.0L 2500 that weighs more than a Dbl Cab LB 6.6L Diesel 2500. You wouldn't think the additional cab space would outweigh the Duramax and Allison combination, but it does. That additional weight is not likely all just tongue weight, I imagine your front axle was taking a small portion of it too. Next time weigh your truck axles separate and compare against your door sticker to see where you are at. Either way that sounds heavy for an empty 20' tandem enclosed. Axles positioned far back on the trailer?

7640 was the total of just the two truck axles or that includes the trailer weight?

Except in divorce court where it becomes dimaximus.

 

Take the GVWR and subtract the payload capacity on the door jam sticker. That should be the curb weight of the truck empty (no passengers).

Yes I know I’m over the 7200 truck limit some. The trailer axle weight was 8500 so total is 15,700. Assuming a truck weight of 6000 and a trailer weight of 9800 means I have 1300 lbs tongue weight. I have a weight distribution hitch so the truck sat level. Do you all know that the hitch is only rated at 5000 without a weight dist hitch?

Yes, standard class III. You can upgrade to a class IV or V if you want more capacity.

I drove my truck over a scale this winter, unloaded, normal amount of gear, and only myself in the cab. I do not recall the amount of fuel i had.

2015 4x4 Crew cab, short bed with tonneau cover:

 

Front axle only: 3400 lb,  57.4%

Rear axle only: 2520 lb,  42.6%

Total: 5960 lb ( i know this doesn't add up to the same total as the sum of the first two, but its what the scale said.)

 

But since you asked for a loaded denali, I'm sure all the bells, whistles and chrome that I don't have add at least 10 more pounds to your truck.

[Dans Denali]

Thank you! Finally a real weight. I’ve been guessing at #6000.

That's a nice trailer!  Any details on it you can share?  I'm in the market for similar in the next year or so.

 

On the hitch, that's not quite correct.  The hitch is rated to 12,000 lbs without weight distribution, it's the truck that isn't.
