Oftentimes when discussing the weight of a vehicle we only focus on the curb weight, or the weight of the vehicle without any passengers or cargo but including full fuel and fluids.

In 1967, Plymouth put a new twist on the Belvedere (itself a twist on the Satellite) and named it GTX. 1968, the trim was promoted to model ranks and endured until 1971. Following the muscle car movement's vilification, the GTX was relegated to trim level, this time on the Road Runner.
