So, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my Ford Mach-E, specifically about how much it weighs. I get it, it’s a big deal, especially when you’re comparing it to other EVs or even just regular gas cars. So, I decided to do a deep dive and, well, get to the bottom of it. Honestly, I was pretty curious myself!
My Deep Dive Process
First things first, I checked the owner’s manual. You know, that book nobody ever reads? Turns out, it has some basic info, but it’s not super specific. It gives you a range, but that’s about it.
Then, I hit up some online forums. Places where Mach-E owners hang out and chat. I figured, someone’s gotta have taken their car to a scale, right? I found a few threads with people claiming different numbers, but it was all a bit scattered. Some folks were talking about the GT, others the Premium, and it was hard to keep track.
So, I decided to get serious. I called my local Ford dealership. I figured, they sell these things, they must know. The guy on the phone was helpful-ish, but again, he was just giving me general figures. He said, “Oh yeah, it depends on the trim, the battery, all that stuff.” No kidding, Sherlock!
Getting My Hands Dirty(or My Wheels Weighed)
Finally, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I found a local truck stop with a certified scale. You know, the kind they use for weighing semi-trucks. I drove my Mach-E (it’s a Premium AWD with the extended range battery, by the way) onto the scale.
The guy in the booth looked at me a little funny, like, “What’s this guy doing with a Mustang?” But hey, I was on a mission! I made sure the car was empty – no extra passengers, no luggage, just the car and me.
I got the result,I wrote it down on paper, and I compared it to what others said *’s nearly right.
So, that’s my little adventure in weighing the Ford Mach-E. Not exactly rocket science, but hey, now I know! And hopefully, this helps some of you guys out there who are wondering the same thing.
