My FNA 360 title also includes "shipping weight" which is 2843lbs (!) as well as something called "GYWB" at 3064. Any clue on these?

Ok Thanks Steve.

Summary:
Dry Weight -- vehicle only, no fluids, no fuel, no occupants, no cargo.

Curb Weight -- vehicle with fluids and fuel, but no occupants and no cargo.

Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) -- vehicle with fluids, fuel, occupants, and cargo.

Ciao
Peter

Two questions.

1 What is included in "curb weight"?
2 What other "weights" and their definitions do I need to know about.

Ciao
Peter
