    GVWR vs GAWR vs curb weight

    so what numbers do I look at on the car to figure out curb weight, or is that something you just have to get done yourself?

    I have GVWR, and GAWR front/rear, but I looked it up and it's not what I thought it was, it's the weight fully loaded down at max capacity overall and on the front/rear axels.

    The only time I weighed my car was when I took in a load of scrap metal. Twinstiva weighed 1800 pounds. The lady said the scale accuracy was plus or minus 20 pounds, IIRC.

        Twin is my red '92L. Back seat removed, but full of tools when I weighed her. She got hit two winters ago.
