minus-squareJuvyn00b@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·9 months agoYou keep misusing the term curb weight. From teh googs: Curb weight is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include the weight of any passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.
