Curb weights sourced from the NHTSA Canadian Vehicle Specifications database and recorded per body style, with fluids and a full fuel tank but no occupants or cargo.

Front and rear axle loads

At 59/41, the 3,607 lbs puts about 2,128 lbs on the front axle and 1,479 lbs on the rear — 649 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.

The two axles are not the same width either: 60.6 in of track at the front against 60.2 in at the rear, 0.4 in narrower behind.

Unchanged since 2015

All 4 model years from 2015 to 2018 are filed at 3,858 lbs, so the model year on a listing does not change the figure.
