Default Truck scale says 4000lbs for a 2016 F-Type R?
see picture. This is a publicly-available truck scale at a local paper recycling plant.

subtract 60 lbs for kid and about 60 lbs for half a tank of gas.

4000 lbs? really?

There’s an older thread where a number of folks weighed their cars (on truck scales) and posted their results. It’s a heavy car.

Only if they are purchased, not leased.

Yep, probably my only gripe about the car, the absolute lightest variants clock in around 3500 or so. An AWD R vert will climb above 4000 easily with options.

Don't be too quick to complain about the weight. The F was 'designed to work' with that much mass, and IMO it works well.



In the Lotus world, the owners of 1000 lb. Sevens shake their heads at 'bloated' 1800 lb. 1960's Elans. The Elan owners turn up their noses at a decadent Esprit's 2800 lbs. The Esprit owners say "what is the world coming to" because new Evoras weigh 3200 lbs. Evora owners disrespect the new electric Evija because it weighs 3700 lbs.

Here is the formula:

The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is basically the maximum total safe weight of your vehicle, counting the curb weight (the weight of our vehicle when empty), plus the weight of your passengers, fuel, any accessories added to the vehicle, and cargo
I wonder how much weight JLR allowed for the cargo in a 'Vert?

You’ve got that right! My other two cars combined are lighter than my F...and combined make less power 😞
Porky Pig sure is fun to drive though!

Of course not, I hardly know you.
The standard answer in the Uk to that question would be "no, it's all those cakes and pies you eat"!

My ex would ask me if a certain garment made her butt look big and my standard response was "no, the garment doesn't make your butt look big, it simply accentuates the fact." That's when the fight would start.
