I think my JK needs to go on a diet... did a landfill run today and my Jeep and empty harbor freight trailer weighed in at 5600lbs. The trailer should be around 300lbs empty, so that puts the Jeep around 5300lbs. Don't tell my insurance, but the door sticker says GVWR is only 5100! That was with a nearly-empty gas tank, but otherwise my normal daily load. I always have my fridge (lightly stocked with water and gatorade), recovery gear, med kit, traffic cones and a gerry can with oil dry. Plus front and rear steel bumpers, rocker guards, engine skid, winch, air compressor and tank. And 5 35" tires on alloy wheels.
The door also says that the combined load of passengers and cargo should not exceed 700lbs.
Has anybody else compared their rig's actual weight with the sticker GVWR?
