G'day,

While I was double checking the amount of water the Avion carries I happened
to notice this:

Curb Weight
Avion - GMC
Front: 3,820 - 3,680
Rear: 5,490 - 5,820
Total: 9,310 - 9,500

Maximum Cargo Weight
Avion - GMC
Front: 420 - 520
Rear: 2,010 - 1,680
Total: 2,430 - 2,200

Gross Axle Weight
Avion - GMC
Front: 4,240 - 4,200
Rear 7,500 - 7,500
Total 11,740 - 11,750 GVW

Curb Weight is the weight of the vehicle with fuel and coolant, but without
the weight of cargo, passengers, driver, or optional equipment .

I can't figure out why the front curb weight of an Avion is 140 pounds
heavier than a GMC yet the rear weight is 330 pounds lighter?

Anybody got any ideas?

Regards,
Rob M.
