What is the heaviest pickup truck?

The heaviest production pickup truck you can buy today by curb weight is the GMC Hummer EV Pickup, which weighs roughly 9,000–9,500 pounds (about 4,100–4,300 kg), depending on trim and equipment. If “heaviest” is taken to mean the highest Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), several heavy-duty pickups—including the Ford F-450, Ram 3500, and GM’s Silverado/GMC 3500HD duallies—top out at about 14,000 pounds GVWR.

How to interpret “heaviest”: curb weight vs. GVWR

“Heaviest” can mean two different things. Curb weight is how much the truck itself weighs with standard equipment and fluids, but without passengers or cargo. GVWR is the maximum legal weight of the truck plus passengers and cargo. The GMC Hummer EV Pickup is the heaviest by curb weight, while several heavy-duty diesel pickups lead by GVWR.

Heaviest by curb weight: GMC Hummer EV Pickup

GMC’s Hummer EV Pickup sits at the top for sheer mass. Early Edition 1 models were listed around 9,060 pounds curb weight, and current 3-motor EV3X pickups typically fall near the low- to mid‑9,000s, varying with wheels, tires, and options. The massive battery pack and robust off‑road hardware are the primary contributors to its extraordinary weight.

Other notably heavy pickups by curb weight

The following list highlights other pickups that rank among the heaviest by curb weight. Figures vary by cab configuration, driveline, engine, and equipment; ranges below reflect typical crew-cab 4×4 configurations where applicable.

• Ford F-450 Super Duty (diesel, crew cab, 4×4): roughly 8,500–8,800 lb
• Ram 3500 HD (HO Cummins, DRW, crew cab, 4×4): roughly 8,200–8,800 lb
• Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD / GMC Sierra 3500HD (Duramax, DRW): roughly 8,200–8,700 lb
• Tesla Cybertruck: roughly 6,600–7,000 lb (varies by motor/battery)

While these heavy-duty and electric models are substantial, none currently surpass the Hummer EV Pickup’s curb weight in mass-produced, factory-built pickup form.

Heaviest by GVWR: Class 3/4 heavy-duty pickups

GVWR measures the maximum allowable weight of the truck plus people and cargo. The models below offer the highest GVWR ratings among factory pickup configurations sold in North America.

• Ford F-450 pickup: up to 14,000 lb GVWR
• Ram 3500 (DRW variants): up to 14,000 lb GVWR
• Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD / GMC Sierra 3500HD (DRW): up to 14,000 lb GVWR
• Ford F-350 (certain DRW configurations): up to 14,000 lb GVWR

Although the Hummer EV is heavier by curb weight, heavy-duty diesel duallies typically lead by GVWR. Note that Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)—truck plus trailer—can be far higher; for example, an F-450 configured for gooseneck towing can exceed 40,000 lb GCWR.

Global and special-case context

In some markets, aftermarket upfitters add pickup beds to medium-duty chassis (e.g., Ford F-550/F-600, Ram 5500). Those conversions can exceed the weights listed above, but they are not factory-built pickups. Among mass-produced, light-duty pickup trucks sold with factory beds, the GMC Hummer EV Pickup remains the heaviest by curb weight.

Why the Hummer EV is so heavy

The Hummer EV uses a very large battery pack, off-road suspension components, underbody protection, and sizable wheels/tires. Together, these push its curb weight well beyond even diesel dually pickups. The trade-offs include high stability and capability, but considerations for range efficiency, tire wear, braking components, and, in some jurisdictions, licensing or registration categories.

Methodology and notes

Weights and ratings vary by model year, trim, axle ratio, cab/bed length, driveline, engine/motor, and equipment. Figures above reflect manufacturer specifications and industry data available through late 2025; always consult a specific vehicle’s door-jamb label and manufacturer documentation for exact numbers.

Summary

The heaviest production pickup truck by curb weight is the GMC Hummer EV Pickup at roughly 9,000–9,500 pounds. If you define “heaviest” by GVWR capacity instead, heavy-duty diesel pickups—led by Ford’s F-450 and rival 3500-series duallies from Ram and GM—top out around 14,000 pounds GVWR.
