Welcome to the forum!

I have looked around and can't find that answer...maybe someone here can get that info from their 720 for you.

I don't trust the numbers books say. I need to go out to the landfill and weigh it.

Curb weight 1163 kg 2564 lb of a 1985 720 SportTruck

I'd imagine the King Cab 4x4 are significantly heavier.

yeah the numbers given are extremely deceiving... it says mine weighs 4,300 lbs.... IT DOESN'T! when it was stock it was around 2,500 lbs and now that i've stripped a lot of stuff it sits around or maybe even under 2,000

I would like for you to get some actual numbers, Pez. I believe you are underestimating a little bit, even with a stripped down rig like yours. My 1997 4x4 5speed ka24e weighs 3400lbs without me in it and half tank of gas. This is with stock size tires and tailgate on. My old 86.5 HB 2wd weighed 3000lbs even, without me in it.

well i would like to get mine on scales for sure... the biggest problem is that i don't know what the actual stock weight was and i don't have any idea how much weight i saved when i pulled everything out...

hell... i took so much random stuff out that i don't even remember what half of it was!!! all i know is that now i can push it easily with one hand while the other one steers... hell, my 100lb girlfriend can push it pretty easy by herself

But that has a front differential and transfer case, not to mention more metal on the frame overall. I'd like to think Ant's truck is pretty feathery compared to a stock 4x4.
