How much does my car weigh? I need to know to register it in DC, owner's manual oddly enough doesn't specify. I already did a search. Thx

you can check the VIN number plate that is inside the driver's door jamb. it should have weights on there.

The weight is not on the door, just the GVW (how much the car can weight total, and per axle.

Age and cunning will always over come youth and vigor.

My TD weighs exactly 3590lbs (Without me in it :p)

You can figure out the empty weight by subtracting the load capacity from the gross vehicle weight. Both are on the VIN plate in the door jam.

Past MB's: '96 E300D, '83 240D, '82 300D, '87 300D, '87 420SEL

For example....

GVWR weight of my 300SDL is 4880 lbs.

Total capacity is 930 lbs.

4880 - 930 lbs = 3950. Actual weight of that car.

4940 - 930 lbs = 4010. Actual weight of the 350SD.

4745 - 965 lbs = 3780. '97 E420, etc, etc.

Blah, blah, blah.

3515 according to these good folks:

Enough to put a big hurt on a full size Dodge Ram pickup. My daughter really liked the shocked look on the truck owners face when she moved his truck with her 300D. Nothin' but metal hurt.
