5500 Lbs is what mine weighs. The problem I had when I hauled mine home wasn't the weight, as I bummed one of my brothers dump trucks and rented a 10,000 Lb equipment trailer. The PW was wider across the front hubs than the trailer wheel wells were. Once we made ramps to raise the tire/hub height to clear the fenders it was on. Sorta....
Better take those hub and tire widths and other measurements before you happily trundle off to retrieve your gem as I did. Remember that a 126" wheel base needs a lot of room on a trailer. My rear tires were on the bed by about 4 inches...
