Which statement about the Stout's weight specifications is true?

• A. The Gross Vehicle Weight is 59,988 lbs and the curb weight is 57,875 lbs.
• B. The Gross Vehicle Weight is 57,875 lbs and the curb weight is 59,988 lbs.
• C. The Gross Vehicle Weight is 59,988 lbs and the fuel capacity is 63 gallons.
• D. The curb weight is 63 gallons and the Gross Vehicle Weight is 59,988 lbs.

Answer: (A)

Curb weight is the vehicle’s empty weight with standard equipment and fluids, while gross vehicle weight is the maximum allowable loaded weight with passengers, cargo, and fuel. The given specification shows a gross vehicle weight of 59,988 pounds and a curb weight of 57,875 pounds, which makes sense because the GVW is higher than the curb weight when the vehicle is loaded. The option mentioning fuel capacity is not a weight specification, and the other statements either swap the values or mix weight with capacity, which isn’t how these metrics are defined.
