Recommended Posts

Did some searching and this is what I came up with....

2006 1500 4wd VMAX..curb weight...5,018 lbs (VortecMax 4wd)

2006 SSS 2wd...................................4,627 lbs (SSS 2wd)

Not sure if this is accurate anybody know for sure?

I haven't weighed mine - but I can tell you that whoever penned that 4627 number was smoking crack. The 5018 number is totally believable *provided* that's a bench seat VMax, my bet is that with full power seats it'll be surprisingly heavier on weigh-in.

Yeah I wasnt sure about that I figured Intellichoice was smoking crack....I know Im heavier then the SSS but I thought only by 200lbs or so considering Im 4wd. I was messing around with a new 06 SSS yesturday and I stepped out a full truck on him 1st-2nd then he started to reel me in 2nd-3rd, and got me by 1 truck length from 3rd-4th and he was still pulling. We both had passengers. He said his truck was completely stock. Has to be a 2wd vs. 4wd and power to weight ratio!!!! Oh well, I tried. :D . At least I know where I stand with you guys! I need to start buying some bolt-ons!

My 4WD V-Max has LT3 trim (lots of options), skid plate package, and a spare tire lock. It weighed 5,220 lbs with 3.1 gallons of fuel used. Add 20 lbs for the missing fuel and I am at 5,240 give or take.

 

My shipping invoice stated that my truck weighed 5,090 lbs. That is with only 2 or 3 gallons of gas. Gas weighs approximately 6.3 pounds/gallon. The tank holds 26 gallons.

No sunroof. Also, I fixed a few numbers in my post. I tried to do it from memory and my memory failed me. Numbers are correct now.

 

I have been good. Thanks for asking.

 

I am going to install my GM Performance Parts cat-back soon. It is sitting in the garage now. I will let you know how I like it. It looks really nice.

Just wanted to add this info: When Car and Driver tested the AWD 2003 SS in the June, 2003 issue, they listed the curb weight as 5,240 lbs. This is exactly what my 4WD V-Max weighs with a full tank of gas. I don't know if the SS had a full tank or not. I have always wondered what the body cladding on the sides of the SS weighs. Something to think about.

 

Oh, and the SS in C&D looked to be similarly equipped. It had leather seats and the Bose system.

I've had the cladding off, it's thin plastic, very very light. If I were to guess the cladding might weigh 15-20 lbs total, there's not much to it. Edited by misterp (see edit history)
