'00 Regular Cab, Sport Plus, 5 spd, 4.7L, No power windows.locks, less than
half a tank of gas, empty payload, no driver, with tailgate and spare
intact, weighs in at 3670. My race weight is about 3820 +- (200 for me,
-50 for the spare removed)
Check this DC site for weights

Doesn't give a break down for 5spd or auto.
