    Have a peek at the data plate on the dash. Sadly, sitting here in the shop I can't see my data plate and don't remember the exact weight. I think 5,550 with winch.

    Somewhere between 5500 and 6100 depending on the manual you are looking at. The data plate on your dash says 5500 "empty." Add in oil, fuel, spare tools, batteries and you can get up pretty high. My M715 was 7249 the last times I went over the scales. That was with just me and a 1/2 tank of fuel. Plus of course my tool box and other stuff I always take with me.
    Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

    6.2 powered M715, 5 M1009's, M416, 2 M101's, 2 M105's, 3 M35's, M1007 6.5 turbo Suburban project called Cowdog.

    Haven't had mine on scales since I added the S250, Marsh wheels and XL's, and about 200 lbs of recovery gear and other assorted junk I carry along.

    Mine scaled at 5350 pounds with 1/4 tank of gas, spare tire and troop seats with a canvas over the cab.
    I see others scale in the same range wth stock equipment, a littl light of the stock 5500 lb. listed weight for a non winch truck
