hey today i weighed my 88 4runner v6 (i weighed it at the corn stalks where they weigh the trucks before and after they drop off the corn) the scale said the truck weighed 4080lbs, thats with me and my friend in the truck. the vin plate says it ways 5080lbs??

how much does yours weigh?

 

The VIN plate should show the GVW (the most it should weigh loaded). I didn't know it would show the empty weight

My FJ40 weighs just over 4K empty

 

Anyone know where I could go to weigh my truck? I've been interested to see exactly how much all the stuff in my canopy weighs.

 

I'm curious too.
I tried to weigh mine at a truck stop where they do the inspections, they said no.

 

take it to your local public landfill. they have scales there you can find the weight on.

 

I have weighed mine at the hiway scales. When the scales are closed (no cops weighing semi's), I will park on the scale, look in the window and read the weight.

 

yup i just went to a local gravel pit after they closed and weighed it...you know te crazy thing mine weighed 4080 with me my friend and a full tank of gas

 

Highway scaled in Washington State when they are closed.

 

silvertruck. that is funny because we have the same truck and I also have a cap on my truck different suspension set up and only 33s and with a full tank of gas, wife (180 lbs. she is 6'2 though and not fat ), and me with no gear or anything mine weighed in at 4310 a couple of weeks ago. Wonder why the difference

 

now thats weird

 

my yellow truck weighs in at about 3100lbs empty with heavy swampers on it. factory curb weight is about 2800lbs.

not sure about the '91 yet...

 

Last time I weighed mine it was 4660 lbs. with a 4800 lb. GVWR:

Look in your local yellow pages for "Public Scale" and that should list any local scales that you can get your truck weighed at. I did mine at a local place that used to be an ice cream factory and is now a truck driving school. They have a scale there and will give you a printed ticket with front and rear axle weights and a total for about $8.00.

As mentioned, landfills and recycling places are other options.

 

Lumber yards are another possibility, since they sell gravel and stuff by weight. That's where I got mine weighed at 3675 with the top off (racing mode)

 

Any place that sells dirt or other landscape materials in bulk by the lb could tell you too.
