Why would you want to know?
Well, if you have a damaged, non-running or totaled vehicle that you want to sell, weight is an important factor in figuring out how much your scrap car is worth.
This means when selling directly to a junk or scrap yard, where you can expect scrap, per-pound offers for these less than perfect cars, how much your car weighs will affect how much you get for it.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the average weight of cars in 2019 was just over 4,000 pounds. The EPA also noted that the average car weight has slowly crept up in the past couple of decades, which means cars in 2021 will probably be a little bit heavier.
It should be obvious that compact cars weigh less than full-size SUVs. In fact, the difference can be significant, with compacts starting at just over 2,900 lbs and large SUVs topping over 5,600 lbs.
Here is a list of some average weights of vehicles you may see on the road every day. You may even own one. Keep in mind that these weights are a general average, and can vary significantly based on year, model and features.
1 – Ford F-Series – Depending on which Ford F-Series truck you drive, your car's curb weight could be anywhere from 4,069 lbs to over 5,500 lbs.
2 – Chevrolet Silverado – Americans love big trucks — the Silverado 1500 comes in between 4,400 and 4,700 lbs for the base model.
3 – Ram Pickup – The Ram truck can come in from around 4,798 to 5,374 lbs in curbside weight. That's a hefty car!
4 – Toyota Rav4 – More of a subcompact SUV, this car comes in between 3,370 and 3,405 for the 2021 model.
5 – Honda CR-V – The Honda CR-V, another popular subcompact SUV model, can weigh between 3,337 to 3,569 pounds!
6 – Toyota Camry – The Toyota Camry is an incredibly popular car. Weight-wise, it keeps up with subcompact SUVs even though it's a sedan — from 3,310 to 3,595 lbs for the 2021 model.
7 – Chevrolet Equinox – The Equinox has taken off in popularity recently. If you scrap a Chevrolet Equinox, expect its weight to come somewhere between 3,274 to 3,512 lbs on average.
8 – Honda Civic – Sporty and lighter than the other popular cars sold in the US, a Honda Civic in 2021 will weight somewhere between 2,771 to 3,012 lbs unloaded.
These weights can be critical when non-running or totaled vehicle at a junkyard. There is, however, a better way to get value from a less than perfect vehicle. That is by selling through our website.
