Which is quicker stock, a rcsb or a powerboost?

[Davidwnuc]

Mine weighs 4500 without me in it, with no accessories or cargo added. It's a 4wd.

yeah subtract my meat and the other extras and mine would weigh about that as it is also a 4wd. I wanted to know daily street weight.
Lots of extra pounds could be dropped for me and the truck…lol

Unfortunately, this is the best we've got...

well, charter planes are smaller, now aren't they?

Actually, there are some that can't carry as many passengers as a that old, well worn work truck! But none that we manage.

I don't know what it would clock, but this bone stock XL Powerboost is noticeably light on its feet compared to my KingRanch Landyacht Powerboost

You raise a point I don't fully grasp: What does make a higher-end package so much heavier than an XL? I get the weight increase with a moonroof, and power seats have motors to make it happen. But you wouldn't think the doodads would add up to more than a couple 100 pounds - one passengers worth. Where does the weight come from?

I don't know if I can account for every lb, but 2WD vs 4WD is surely a considerable bump. Maybe 250lbs?

So add 4WD, pano, step tailgate, and power running boards, and you have added a couple of American Men passengers full time.

Some of those options add more weight than you may think. Also, depending on what configurations such as single, crew, or super crew, along with max tow, the frames are built with different thickness support structure. The 2.7 XL single cab will have the thinnest & lightest frame vs. a Limited SuperCrew with Max tow. The frames are beefed up in critical areas to support the added load capacities.

The Powerboost frame is the heaviest according to those who researched.

When I looked at curb weights for 2wd vs 4wd on a rcsb, the difference was 265 lbs.
