I know there are differences involving gauge, doors on one vs. both sides, one vs. two cabs, and minimum turn radius. On top of this I assume identical floor plans will not be used and there will be smaller follow-on differences. But isn’t the overall length, width, and height very similar? It’s not clear to me what would account for a substantial difference in weight.
