SWB K-10 weight?
 

looking at trailers to haul my SWB K-10 and wonder what the weight of it is empty? thanks...

Re: SWB K-10 weight?
 

Just weigh each peice and add it up:lol:.Want a rough guess?About 5,500# or under 6.I think one size trailers are rated at 8,000# and that`s what I thing you need.The 6,000# is marginal.

that much, really? I know it says 5200 GVW but I figured that was loaded...

ready to sell that Highlander yet Tim?

Re: SWB K-10 weight?
 

Yep thats probably pretty damn close.

Re: SWB K-10 weight?
 

I weighed mine a few years ago with the half ton axles and 35's and it was a little over 4800 lbs if I remember correctly.

Re: SWB K-10 weight?
 

That sounds closer to what I figured, 5200 GVRW - 1,000 payload....somewhere in the 4200-4500 range for a stock truck. Guess i'll need to weight it once complete and solve the mystery....

thanks for all the input....

My longbed weighs 4200 on the scales. i think I had 1/2 tank of gas, and w/ driver.

Re: SWB K-10 weight?
 

The two short boxes 4X4's I have weigh between 4,200 and 4,300 pounds. They are both equiped with AC.

thanks... great info...

Re: SWB K-10 weight?
 

Go with a 6K minimum IMO.

Tandem axle breaks as well.

A 16 footer will do the short bed just fine.

If you plan on towing other trucks/cars like maybe long-beds or burbs, go up to an 18 foot deck.

Load leveler hitches make a big difference too. ;)

Re: SWB K-10 weight?
 

Well,I never weighed a shortbed,so I guessed.The lightest truck I`ve weighed was 4,860 and the rest are more.But,I was more concerned with the trailer rating you were looking for.

Re: SWB K-10 weight?
 

Thanks, Tim... I agree that when i buy one it will more than likely be an 18ft 6,000-8,000 lb trailer. My title says 4170lbs unladen wieght... I wonder where they got that info?
