Yes they do, my D250 is rated at a GVR of 9800 pounds. These trucks only weigh about 5000 pounds empty.


The engine alone weighs in the neighborhood of 1100 lbs. Truck weight, with fuel is probably over 6500 lbs, especially if it’s 4wd.

Edit. Just looked it up. People scale these early Cummins trucks at 5500- 6800 lbs, depending on configuration, fuel loads, etc
