GM "Customer Care"?

That GVWR is in kilograms, not pounds!! According to GM's website, the GVWR of a 4x4 crew cab is upto 3266kg, or 7200lbs. The actual curb weight is between 2330kg - 2460kg, or 5140lbs - 5224lbs (all depending on short/long box, and regular or HD axle).

 

GVWR appears to be roughly the curb weight plus the max payload for each truck (not exact, but close). I also thought GVWR assumed the weight of a passenger occupying each seat in the vehicle? (not 100% sure though).

 

Anyway, curb weight is the actual weight of the truck. So as you can see, over 5000lbs! A typical car is around ~3000lbs +/- a few.

 

DOH! well that explains that lol
