Ok so basicly the platinum is still 200+lbs more. 200lbs is a bulk of weight to gain. That 200lb's if added to the payload would mean that it can use the max trailer tow features at 10% tongue weight.
Anyone any other ideas where the platinum gains 200lb extra weight. I cant thing of anything that would play a part that is that bulky in weight. Perhaps the taigate badge lol

Im not sure if they measure unsprung or sprung weight so i remove that amount just to be sure. Covered both ways then. but thats a good point

You have to take into consideration as well the extra sound deadening material.
Also, I don't know if you have a moonroof?

How did you get 60lbs for the 6.5 foot bed vs the 5.5 foot bed? That seems a little light to me when you take into consideration 1 foot more sheetmetal, 1 foot more frame rails, 1 foot more driveshaft, etc...

The build and price drops 60lb payload along all models when going from a 5.5 to a 6.5 bed.
Pick up 3 20lb bags of dust and you will see it's a pretty heavy amount. That would be quite a large amount of sheet metal.

You should put a full tank of fuel in Your truck and WEIGH IT! Plenty of Scales around these days. Prolly only cost ya 8-10 bux.
I wouldn't be surprised if Your close to 6500 lbs curb weight.
