Curb weight, GVWR and payload: what they mean
Curb weight is the weight of the vehicle itself. Jeep's sheets say it includes standard equipment and full quantities of lubricant and coolant, so options add to it.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is the most the loaded vehicle may weigh. Payload is the maximum allowable weight of the driver, passengers, cargo and options, which the sheets round to the nearest 10 lbs.
