WHats the diff in weight between the 2nd and 3rd gen 4Wd Runners?

 

My 93 was 1650 kg, and my 01 is 1800 kg. Both weighed at the dump scale, with me in the driver's seat. The 93 was a base model, no A/C, power windows etc, 3.0 V6 4wd. The 01 has A/C, power windows, power locks, 4wd, 3.4 V6

 

Both heavy as hell.

If you're concerned about weight, get a truck. LOL

 

2nd gens come in around 3700lbs and 3rd gens are around 4000lbs,both being 4wd.

 

I have one of each, a 95 and a 96, both limited models, I can tell the 95 is lighter, just wondered how much.

Also trying to figure out which one I want to drop a V-W turbodiesel into.

The 95 is the obvious choice since it has a blown head gasket, and 100K less miles on the vehicle. But the 96 has been in 2 minor accidents and one major enough to total it, so the resale is not gonna be much.

But ive read somewhere that the 3rd gen is much safer in a crash.
