Your door jam is wrong.

Many people have put them on scales.

Isn't that how much the vehicle can hold? Up to another xxxx lbs on top of it's 2800lbs? So door jam saying 3700 meaning it would hold another ~900lbs on top of it's curb weight?

the weight listed on the VIN sticker on your door jamb is the Gross Vehicle Weight, which is how much your car weighs fully loaded. Actual weight is not listed on the car but is probably around 2800 lbs.
