Easy question- 4x4 Blazer curb weight? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ran a search, surprised not to find any results. I am guessing between 3,500-4,000 lbs, but I know that someone out here knows for sure.

Thanks in advance!

According to the specs on http://COLORADOK5.com/specs.shtml, 3,677#, For some reason, the '69 is listed at 2,947. I'm guessing that is the weight without the top & GM probably soon realized they were all selling with the tops so decided to add that weight in.

I thought someone listed the top weights and they were around 500lbs for a double wall so your still a few hundred pounds short.

Maybe they didn't include the passenger and rear seats as well? The '69 could have been a base model with no additional options (no top, seats, ac, radio,, 6cyl...)?

I don't have the answer but as a point of reference my '84 1/2 ton SWB 2wd pickup weighs about 3800 lbs on two different truck scales, running without a driver, I imagine a 4x4 blazer has got to be packing on another 800 pounds at least, with the top, transfer case, rocker boxes, extra drive axle and big tires.

I weighed mine at a truck scale on my way out camping at 4100 lbs. It was full of camping gear, full tank, and 2 200 lb men. I figure it must weigh in at around 3500 pounds. My Blazer is a 72 350 auto with double wall top.
With the top off it must be around 3300 pounds. It sure seems to go better with the top off!
