You should be able to take it to any rock quarry or trucking outfit and theyll weigh it for you. They usually charge 10.00 if its for a D.M.V. required weight cert.(where they have to fill out paperwork)
If you just want a quick weigh job they might do it for nothing,,,especially if they like your truck.......

Out our way, whenever you bring stuff to the dump, they weigh you in and out and you pay only for the garbage you left at the dump.

On the highway, when the truck scales are closed (no officers), they leave the scales on so truckers can check axle weights if they wish. I've done same with pick-up loads, etc.

I was hoping someone would know the factory listed kerb weight. I don't drive it enough to get anywhere near interstate scales.

Your local feed store probably has a scale, at least they used to weigh the hay as it came in.
