Anybody know the weight for a CC 2wd HEMI Express? The door says GVWR is 6800lbs, but I know that is with X amount of passengers, X amount of fuel, etc etc...
Wondering if anybody has actually weighed their truck...
I weighed mine with full tank, and my landscape equipment and trailer today but didn't have time to unhitch and weigh just the truck.

best I can tell it should be around 5600 lbs for curb weight

Really need the trim level (ST, SLT, etc) to be sure, and is it a crew cab or quad cab ??

It's a Crew Cab (hence the CC in the OP lol) but I don't know trim level, all I know is its an Express...has black/grey carpet/interior, cruise, no CD or touch screen stuff, and small EVIC screen...if that helps...

I saw the CC, but the chart only lists standard, quad & mega........that year, the quad cab WAS the crew cab........the true crew cab came out later.

There should be another sticker near your door area that will tell you your max payload ("combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed xxxx lb). If you take your GVWR and subtract that number, that should give you a good estimate for curb weight.

Example, my 2wd crew cab Tradesman with the V6.
6800 - 1822 (max payload) = 4978 lbs.

Hmm that's odd..

What's odd ??

2008 had three cab styles (regular, quad, & mega), two bed lengths (6.3 feet and 8 feet) and three trim levels (base ST, mid-level SLT, luxury SLT Plus) available, there's a Ram for everyone. Additionally, a Sport package is optional on the SLT and SLT Plus.


So Dodge had a quad cab....the doors are bigger on the newer crew cab if you look at them both.

People just called the quad a crew cuz it had 4 doors.....Dodge didn't however, until they became Ram in 2009, then a crew cab & quad cab were available.

Where your tire pressure sticker is inside the door jamb should say max cargo not to exceed. Take that number and subtract it from 6800 and that will get you close that should be full tank of gas. My guess is 52-5350.
