6 Ways to Find Your Vehicle's Weight
Don't have access to our tool? Here's how to find your car's weight on your own, ranked from easiest to most precise.
Driver's Side Door Jamb Sticker
EasiestOpen your driver's door and look for a white or silver sticker on the door frame or B-pillar. It lists the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). Subtract about 800–1,200 lbs for cargo capacity to estimate curb weight.
Owner's Manual / Spec Sheet
EasyCheck the specifications section at the back of your owner's manual. It lists curb weight by trim level. Don't have the manual? Search your year, make, and model followed by "owner's manual PDF."
Manufacturer's Website
EasyGo to the manufacturer's website and find your model's spec page. Most list curb weight by trim and drivetrain. For older vehicles, try searching automotive databases like Edmunds.
VIN Decode
ModerateYour 17-digit VIN encodes your exact model, trim, engine, and drivetrain. Run it through the free NHTSA VIN decoder at vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov to identify your exact configuration.
Weigh It at a Truck Scale
Most AccurateFor the most accurate weight including modifications or missing parts, drive to a public truck scale (CAT scale). They're at most truck stops and cost $10–15.
Registration / Title
Varies by StateSome states list vehicle weight on the registration card or title. California, New York, and Texas typically include it. Check your current registration or contact your DMV.
Curb Weight vs GVWR vs Gross Weight
The weight of the vehicle as it sits at the curb — with all standard equipment, a full tank of fuel, and all necessary fluids, but no passengers or cargo. This is the standard measurement used by manufacturers and databases.
The maximum total weight the vehicle is designed to carry — including the vehicle itself, passengers, cargo, and tongue weight from towing. It's always higher than curb weight.
What the vehicle weighs right now, at this moment, with whatever's in it. Measured at a truck scale. This matters most if major components have been added or removed.
The vehicle's weight without any fluids — no fuel, oil, coolant, or brake fluid. Rarely used outside of manufacturer spec sheets. Lower than curb weight by 50–150 lbs.
