Is this some kind of misprint, because in the drivers door jamb it says the car weighs 32XX Lbs, If nobody beleives me I'll rip it off and scan it. Is it wieghed in Kilos or something?, because I posted earlier about HB's not being much lighter and everyone said that they weighed like 2200 lbs, but for real, mine says it weighs 3225... yes that's Three thousand, two hundred and twenty five pounds.

I should have said GVWR

CURB WEIGHT refers to the weight of your vehicle, including fuel, coolants, lubricants, emergency tools, spare tire and can include any equipment that is standard. It does not include cargo, passengers or other options installed by the factory, dealer or aftermarket supplier.

PAYLOAD is the maximum weight of cargo, occupants and optional equipment that your unit is designed to carry. It is the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) minus the base curb weight.

GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) is the curb weight plus everything you have added such as cargo, passengers and optional equipment that is being carried at any given time. If you add more cargo or passengers than your GVW is what you weigh now.

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). This is the maximum weight of the vehicle plus everything added that the manufacturer designed your unit to carry.

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating). This is the carrying capacity for each axle your unit has. Both the GVWR and GAWR are listed on your safety compliance certificate posted in your vehicle. The rating is based on the carrying capacity of the lowest rated axle and suspension component. This is why it is so important to know and observe vehicle loading rates.

GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating). This is the maximum combined weight of the towing vehicle AND the towed vehicle, including passengers and cargo.
