Weight

Just out of curiosity, why the hell does the weight sticker on my door say 4300 lbs? The car cant be that heavy, can it?

Good thinking.

Why? Well if you look again, you'll see a designation attached to that weight listing. Its GVW=Gross Vehicle Weight. Thats the maximum recommended weight you have in and on the car. You car weighs more like 33-3500 lbs.

What does in and on the car mean? Like 3 fat people riding with you, all the options, and ...?
