My '84 GL runs ~ 3380 lbs

My '86 weighs ~3800 lbs with the tools etc under the seat and the Behr
indash AC

My Mom's full camper with auto was ~ 4000 lbs

Not bad compared to a Toyota Four Runner at ~ 4300 lbs, a Nissan Armada at ~
5300 lbs, a Cadillac Escalade at ~ 5600 lbs or a Ford F250 Super Duty at ~
6100 lbs!!
