How Much Does a Dually Pickup Truck Weigh?

A dually pickup truck is a full-size pickup truck that has four wheels on each side of the rear axle, instead of just two. This type of truck is often used for towing heavy loads, such as trailers, boats and recreational vehicles. But how much does a dually pickup truck weigh?

The weight of a dually pickup truck can vary significantly depending on the model and type. Generally speaking, an empty single-cab, short-bed dually with two-wheel drive weighs between 4,800 and 5,500 pounds.

An empty extended-cab, short-bed dually with two-wheel drive can weigh anywhere between 5,400 and 6,200 pounds. Lastly, an empty extended-cab, long-bed dually with two-wheel drive can weigh up to 7,000 pounds.

On the other hand, if you are looking at a model with four-wheel drive then the weight can be significantly higher. An empty single cab short bed dually with four wheel drive can weigh up to 6200 pounds while an empty extended cab short bed version will be around 7000 pounds. An empty extended cab long bed version with four wheel drive can weigh up to 8100 pounds.

When you add in cargo and passengers, the weight increases significantly for all models and types of trucks. For example, a typical family of four in an extended cab long bed dually with two wheel drive will add approximately 500 – 700 pounds to the overall weight of the vehicle depending on their belongings and luggage.

For those who are hauling cargo or going on vacation in their dually pickup trucks it is important to keep in mind that they should not exceed the recommended maximum gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). The GVWR is determined by the manufacturer and indicates how much total weight (including cargo) your vehicle can safely carry.

Conclusion: Based on these figures we can conclude that a typical family of four in an extended cab long bed dually with two wheel drive will typically weigh around 7500 – 8200 lbs when fully loaded. It is important to keep in mind that this figure could vary depending on the make and model as well as any additional cargo or passengers being carried along for the ride. It is always best practice to check your vehicle’s GVWR before loading it up so you don’t exceed its maximum capacity for safety reasons!
