How much does a 26 foot penske truck weight?
The tare weight (all fluids full except just 10L fuel, no
driver, no payload) of a 26 foot Penske non-CDL ramp truck is 15241
pounds. It can carry 50 gallons of diesel, so with a full fuel
tank, it's about 15616 pounds. It has a max GVW of 26,000 pounds,
so it can carry up to 10,384 pounds including the driver, whatever
is in the cab and whatever is in the back of the truck. The
liftgate versions of 26 foot Penske non-CDL trucks are about 1000
pounds heavier, and are also limited to 26000 pounds GVW. The above
weights are from Penske in June 2017. You'll read in many places
that the empty weight of a 26 foot Penske truck is around 13,000
pounds. This is incorrect.
