If the 6th digit of the VIN is an A, it weighs 3750 lbs. If the 6th digit of the VIN is an E, it weighs 4150 lbs. This is only the GVW - it is not the actual weight of the vehicle. Shipping Weight is usually listed at 3000 lbs, experience says that you need to take the vehicle to a set of scales to know the actual weight. Scales can be found at truck stops and may be listed under "public scales" in the phone book. 3100 lbs is typical, but that will vary based on engine and options.
