Empty weights of stingers?

It's about right. That's about what the one I drive weighs empty. It really depends on the truck model and how the trailer is set up, hydro slides heavier than flippers, newer truck with emissions stuff heavier that older one without it. Just depends on the setup but yes your in the ballpark.

 

Mine is also a highrail with a 389 Pete, but I have full belly pans front to back on trailer, fixed metal bat wings which in my opinion are well worth the weight and disk brakes all the way around the tractor and trailer. I may have been able to drop 500-1000 lbs, but in my opinion I prefer the options instead. I also never really need 200 gallons of fuel onboard, so if I load half full on fuel or so I can still haul 35,500 or so.

 

Must be a Paccar engine?

Edit: Nevermind, just saw the daycab

 

Series 60 Detroit glider

 

Our last few highrails are about a 1000lbs or so lighter than that, with Stars and Cummins. But the boss ordered them with fixed back bottom and no shotgun deck. I wouldn't want one of 'em!

 

I knew my truck was a fat ###.
47800 full of fuel. But she has a bit heavier of specs than most

 

One of my trucks was 1000 lbs heavier than that. Big bunk Pete with 24.5 and a 9189 Boydstun. 550 Cat w/ an 18. That hard pulling SOB was worth every pound!
