truck is curb weighted at around 14.780 pound. we also pull a 16 foot trailer with it that holds a kabota bx25 and it doesnt run all the time. i mounted an led on the dash that lets me know when its on and it takes awhile for it to come on and doesnt run that long before it shuts off. iv driven over 20 miles before it kicks on and when it does is because i have hit the city and the traffic lights
