Mazda CX-9 Curb Weight: 4,387 lbs

At 55/45, the 4,387 lbs puts about 2,413 lbs on the front axle and 1,974 lbs on the rear — 439 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.

The lightest 2015 record is 4,248 lbs; the lightest 2023 record is 4,387 lbs — 139 lbs heavier (3.3%).

At the top of the range the 2023 file reaches 4,387 lbs against 4,553 lbs in 2015, a 166 lbs reduction — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.

The published 19.5-gallon tank holds about 119 lbs of gasoline at 6.1 lb per gallon, and curb weight is measured with it full. Run it to empty and the 4dr SUV AWD is effectively a 4,268 lbs vehicle — 2.7% of the figure quoted above is fuel you will burn off.

With a With Trailer Hitch configuration, the 2023 CX-9 is rated to pull 3,500 lbs — 0.8 times the 4,387 lbs the heaviest recorded truck weighs by itself, and 0.8 times the 4,387 lbs of the lightest.

That rating belongs to the With Trailer Hitch build, not to every truck on this page: a 4dr SUV AWD starts 0 lbs deeper into the combined rating than a 4dr SUV AWD before a trailer is coupled.
