Most truck stops have (or had, it's been awhile) truck scales. You can also check with landscape supply places that sell bulk rock, or waste disposal sites like Waste Management. Scrap metal places would be another potential option.

I could go to my old haunts, construction debris... But a weight does not tell me exact GVWR, nor what came originally with my [supposed] XL, which has some XLT upgrades. I want a window into the waiting room after it came from the factory's womb. Not only 8lbs 4oz and 23 1/2" long. I was half way there, at one time. A brochure that had XL & XLT, tempting one with Check Boxes, teasing you to upgrade to an XLT to get electric locks and such, would solve 95% of it.

Wait, all you want is GVWR? That's on the door sticker. You don't need a brochure or anything else. Just go look at the sticker.

Gonna have to go graph paper spreadsheet I think w "check boxes." Would SO love to have a xerox of original brochures.

Nooooo, CO. That's ONE thing I want. The door is not entirely clear. AK's snow and roof loading brought to mind my wish to know my load carrying ability. I DO seem to have a load spreading hitch, so tongue is 600#'s. Enuf on this for a while. It only interests me to know what XLT options I have on my XL. More about snow. I don't get any in SF.

GVWR on the sticker is the legal weight limit. GAWR is the legal limit you can pile on either end. those three are on the sticker and are irrefutable. Curb weight comes from a scale (not the internet or a brochure). Max load is GVWR minus curb weight. That's everything.

No. According to a link JBrew sent,
the '01 had 14 trim levels, and the XLT, 17.

But thanks all !!!
And I'll try hacking those links, Ohio, for an '01 !!!
