What's 2,180 lbs look like on a Avy? *pics*
« on: February 20, 2010, 12:17:15 PM »
Had to pick up some hardwood flooring for a home project and couldn't round up  a trailer so I just went for it. Stopped by some scales on the way there (this is a 70 mile trip 1-way) because I was curious what it would weigh. I thought about making 2 trips but figureed it would make it. I weighed it on the way home and it was 2,180 lbs in the back. It handled it pretty well although it looks bad it drove well. It's a 04 Z66

  The kids noticed it was a lot easier to get in it. :D

Didn't wobble a whole lot, Pretty stable actually. I forgot to look and see if it was on the bump stops. Every truck I have had prevously (90,95,2000) has been lowered so the kids are suprised that I haven't lowered this one already.
