Hi folks,

I'm a little confused about the weight of my car...
It seems like everyone on the board here says the 4th gen Max should weigh about 3200 lbs...
hmm...

I was telling my buddies at work how light my car is and of course they wanted to see, so we went over, looked inside the door, and it says...

4273 LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so what's with that? Are these wieghts different for a reason (why?), or are we all just misinformed?

Thanks

Justin

 

ok, GVW = Gross Vehicle Weight, this is what your car actually weighs.

GVWR = Gross Vehicle Wieght Rating, this is the max weight, including passengers, cargo and fuel that the vehicle is made to support.

That 4200 lb figure is the GVWR...not the GVW.

 

everyone here was perplexed about that!! (yeah, we're all just a bunch of monkeys sitting around wondering about our cars' weights)...
hehe
thanks again mzmtg

The 4th gens weigh anywhere from 3032 to 3085, depending on the trim level.

 

That is friggin light...how many lbs for a SE....i always thought they were up by like 3250 ??

 

The manual '97 SE weighs 3014lbs. The automatic SE weighs 3072lbs.
