weight

on my registration it said 3400? some lbs. gross tare whatever the diff is.
thats the factory number on the door sticker too on the wagon.

what surprises me though is that going by whats the weight on the door stickers is means that my 04 impala is heavier than my wagon!? :shock:

Usually whats on the door sticker is gross vehicle weight.
IE 4 passengers some stuff in the trunk, etc.


right. you're looking for the curb weight. the gross weight is the amount of weight that the suspension/chassis can safely handle without dangerously affecting handling.
