Curb weight, GVWR and payload: what they mean

Curb weight is the weight of the vehicle itself. Jeep's Grand Cherokee L sheet says it includes standard equipment and full quantities of fuel, 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, rounded to the nearest 10 lbs. Weight distribution is the share of the weight carried by the front and rear axles.
