Default Car Weight.

I was looking at the sticker on the driver side door, it said 3804 pds under the weight. I know it sounds dumb, but is that the weight? I thought the cars were 3300 pounds or around that area. In the articles I have read I dont ever remember seeing any that heavy.

Isn't that the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)? I believe that means the actual weight of the car plus whatever's in it, shouldn't exceed that weight. THe actual weight of the car is somewhere on that same label, I do believe (mine isn't available at the moment to check so I'm relying on my so-so memory)....

That's gross wgt. Take one 3350 lb car add 2 200 lb guys add a couple or 3 50 lb luggage = 3900 more or less. Oops, over gvwr. Somebody go on a diet!
