minus-squarePipoca@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agoCurb weight is the weight of the car itself, plus any gas, oil, etc it needs to function. Gross weight is maximum weight the vehicle is designed to support. It’s the curb weight plus the payload capacity. If a car has a curb weight of 3k lbs and a gross weight of 4k, it doesn’t weigh 4k lbs unless you have 1k lbs of passengers and cargo in it.
