And no I don't mean phat...
I figured out why my gas mileage is not that great. Went to a scale today and weighed my truck. With a cab-high shell on the back and a full tank of gas, it weighed in at 4640 pounds!!!
I always knew it was a little heavy, but jeez!! What a porker! I feel sorry for the Kia that I'm sure I'll run over one of these days...

Durtydog,
I've got an A.R.E. cap, CX series. The brochure says the ones for compact trucks weigh 135 pounds and the full-size weighs 175, so I'm guessing 150-160.
By the way, I downloaded an excel spreadsheet from Bernd's site that you can punch all kinds of performance data into...neat stuff. According to that, my dak is putting out 200 rear-wheel hp, based on the weight (with driver), my 1/4 mile time, and trap speed. I was surprised...I have done very little to the truck, and was guessing maybe 180 at the most, especially since mine is a CA version.
