allroad weight I was surprised

[tryan100]

A friend let me barrow his scales this weekend. Thought I would share. This is with 1/4 tank and my custom hitch that is not light. One of the switches is messed up but it really is all tires then fronts then rears.

Yup, it's a beast at 4300 lbs

that is lighter than I expected, not light by any stretch of the imagination. i thought the dry weight was like 4200

mine came in at 3,968lbs with half a tank after i ditched my sunroof.

Matt, do you actually feel the loss of weight when driving?

Sunroof is absolutely the best place to shave sprung weight. I've thought about doing that to mine too - I never use them, they leak, they weigh a lot, and they fail. Just out of curiosity, did you add sheet metal, and what did you do with the headliner and all the electronics? How much weight would you say you saved?

Dry weight is irrelevant; Subtract 30 lbs of transmission fluid, 180 lbs of gasoline, 25 lbs of coolant, 20 lbs of motor oil, 20 lbs from the rear diff, front diff, and t-case, you get the idea.
Curb weight, on the other hand, considers the car's weight with a full tank of fuel and a driver. If your numbers are substantially less than listed curb weight, that's why.
