2017 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD vs. 2017 Ford Super Duty F-350 vs. 2017 Ram 3500 HD dually 4×4 trucks. How much do these trucks weigh exactly? Which dually diesel is the heaviest in the real world?
Weight is very important for every aspect of pickup truck’s performance: payload capacity, tow rating, efficiency, acceleration, and braking. It is important to know the front and rear axle weights, so we can calculate how much tongue weight we will be carrying for the Ike Gauntlet tests. We don’t want to exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of any of the trucks that we test.
The Chevy Silverado 3500 HD is an LT model with an as-tested price of over $65,000. The Ford F-350 is a fully-loaded Lariat with an as-tested price of over $74,000. Finally, the Ram 3500 HD is a top-of-the-line Limited model with an as-tested price of over $79,000.
All of these trucks have different levels of options, but they are all crew cab 4×4 diesels with about half of tank of fuel. Will the aluminum-bodied F-350 be the lightest truck here or …?
