Weight on tires

[jagabom (Esquire)]

2011 Sierra 5.3.  Was wondering if anyone knows the weight on the front tires and the weight on the back tires. 

Should be more on the front then the back because of the engine.

Thanks

Got any truck scales near by?  That will give you the exact axle weights for your specific truck.  

 

As its going to vary from truck to truck.  Regular vs extended vs crew cab, base or Denali, 2wd or 4wd, box length, engine, etc.  Lots of factors here.

Sorry, it is an extended cab.  Was just looking for a rough number.  No scales close.

Thanks

A rough guess is going to be 3250lbs on the front axle and 2300lbs on the rear axle.

 

My 2016 crew cab with the short bed was ~5,560lbs on the scale with a mostly full tank of fuel.

 

Your truck will have less cab but more bed and a few more steel parts compared to a 2016 but the specs are probably close to the same.

I'm not a heavy guy and usually have a cross bed tool box in my trucks, just me and a full tank of fuel, all my half ton trucks have been about 6500 lbs, 60:40 weight distribution.
