I feel a bit dumb for asking this clarification but he goes. I know what Gross and net means but in my 1999 Saab owners manual it states that the weight of my convert with full gas tank, spare tire etc is 3200 lbs. and then further down it states that the Gross weight is 3920 lbs. which is 720 lbs higher. Is the Gross calculated with the weight of 4 passengers each weighing 180 lbs?
But then in my 2000 9-5 Aero manual it states the weight as 3470lbs and Gross 4480 lbs. In this case for the 9-5 if the Gross weight is calculated by adding 5 passengers, then they calculated the weight of each passenger to be 202lbs.
Do they assume that larger people drive 9-5?
