    Greetings all,

    Was wondering if anyone knows of any guide book or online site that will give you the curb weight of any particular vehicle? Thank you in advance...

    It works well to just put the vehicle specs into Google, usually it pulls it right up.

    Try this http://buyersguide.caranddriver.com/ram/3500/specs#features

    I haven't been able to get the 2014 info to display, just the 2015. There are different cabs listed for the 2014 so even if you find info on the 2014 4x4 there are going to be cab options.


    Does this chart have the info you're looking for? http://www.topspeed.com/cars/ram/2014-ram-heavy-duty-ar158647/picture529731.html

    If not, there are some base curb weights in the "exterior dimensions" grid nearer to the right hand side of all that info. http://www.pickupwiki.com/specs/2014/Dodge/3500

    Call a dealer and have them look it up for you. You can have them run the options you want and get close to the right weight.

    Just go put your truck on a scale and be done.

    I'm pretty sure the weight is listed on the VIN sticker inside the driver's door jam. That's where I got mine from anyway.

    Thanks california jellyroll, this is great for pickup trucks, you think they would have a carwiki.com for cars too but no such luck.... Longarm, no the stickers inside the door jams do not have curb weight only gvwr and gawr....truckon, it would be a little difficult taking each car i needed to weight to a scale, the reason I posted this as stated in my original post was to find a guide book or online website that would give me curb weights of vehicles so I could get an idea of each vehicle I was to tow as to not go over my weight limit of my rig....same to ridgeline, cant call a dealer every time I am going to get ready to pick up a car to haul....
