5,250 lbs curb and at the local garden scales just under 7,200 lbs with
me (180), toolbox (+200lbs) and misc stuff.
But folks still believe theirs weighs in at curb. The current door

used to work for one of the OEMs and owned that label process. Said
it is computer generated via each option listed. Must be accurate as
it is part of the shipping info (billing by weight)
