    GVWR is gross vehicle weight rating. This is totally different than the curb weight, which is what it actually weighs. I googled it, your Blazer weighs 4750 if it has an automatic transmission and 4 wheel drive. Without the 4x4 it would be a few hundred pounds less.

    Add to it (Or should I say subtract from it) Rims and tires, a 34 lb battery, part of the exhaust, the AC pump, Starter, Alternator.. those lbs add up quick if you are taking said items off- but you end up not caring because you are getting say .38/lb for the battery instead of .10, same with the other core parts that are a lot better paying by removing them.
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
