curb weight
Curb weight is how much a car weighs when it's full of gas and ready to drive, but without any people or stuff inside. It helps you know how heavy the car is, which affects how it handles and how much gas it uses.
Curb weight refers to the total weight of a vehicle when it is ready to be driven, including all fluids and a full tank of gas, but excluding any cargo or passengers. It's an important metric for understanding a vehicle's performance and fuel efficiency.
