Curb weight is easy to ignore until a driveway, parking garage or tire bill makes it personal. Passenger vehicles that top 6,000 pounds are no longer rare, and the heaviest electric trucks now approach five tons. Here are ten passenger vehicles that weigh more than 6,000 pounds, ranked from the heaviest down.

1. GMC Hummer EV: The Heavyweight Champion
The Hummer EV Edition 1 has a 9,640-pound curb weight, and its battery alone weighs almost 3,000 pounds, according to the vehicle’s Wikipedia entry. The truck’s gross vehicle weight rating is 10,400 pounds.
No other vehicle in this gallery comes close, and the battery accounts for roughly a third of the total. The figure applies to the Edition 1 launch version of the pickup, so other configurations may differ, but the scale of the machine is clear from any version.
2. Cadillac Escalade IQ: Nine Thousand and Counting
Cadillac’s electric Escalade IQ weighs 9,000 to 9,350 pounds, carrying a 24-module battery of 233.3 kWh total and an estimated 450 miles of range.
The huge pack explains both the heft and the long range estimate, a trade-off typical of large electric vehicles, since more battery means more miles but also more mass to carry around every day. Owners will notice the weight in tire wear, parking structures with posted limits and the effort needed to stop it, so those factors deserve a look before purchase.
3. Chevrolet Silverado EV: A Work Truck at 8,532 Pounds
Chevrolet’s electric pickup, in its 4WT work-truck form, has a listed curb weight of 8,532 pounds, or 3,870 kilograms.
Even the most basic work-truck version of the Silverado EV lands in heavyweight territory, a reminder that electric pickups carry their battery as constant ballast whether the bed is loaded or empty. Fleet managers and contractors weighing the truck, whose figure is also published in metric units, should account for the weight when planning payload, trailer use and the capacity of lifts and garages used for service.
4. Rivian R1S: Seven Thousand Pounds of Rivian
Rivian’s three-row electric R1S SUV has a listed curb weight of 7,068 pounds, or 3,206 kilograms, according to its Wikipedia entry.
That puts the SUV well ahead of the 6,000-pound threshold used for this gallery, by more than a thousand pounds. The weight also sits above the figure for its R1T pickup sibling, listed at 6,949 pounds. The two models share Rivian’s battery-electric platform, and that mass is worth weighing for anyone who parks in a tight garage or tows with the SUV.
5. Tesla Cybertruck: The Heaviest Tesla
The tri-motor Cyberbeast is the heaviest Cybertruck at 6,901 pounds, while the AWD version weighs 6,660 pounds and the Premium AWD tows 11,000 pounds.
The spread between the two versions is about 240 pounds, a modest gap that leaves the choice between them to power and price, not to any real difference in how heavy the truck feels to park or load. Even the lightest Cybertruck listed here clears 6,000 pounds with plenty to spare, so the whole range belongs among the heavyweights.
6. 2027 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology: Electric Boxy Icon
The electric 2027 G-Class weighs 6,746 pounds, or 904 more than the 5,842-pound AMG G 63, according to Kelley Blue Book.
The comparison is useful because the AMG G 63 is itself a heavy vehicle, yet the electric powertrain adds roughly 900 more pounds on top of it, close to half a ton of extra mass. Buyers who value the upright styling will be getting a noticeably heavier machine than the gasoline version, with all that implies for handling and tire life.
7. 2026 Cadillac Escalade-V: Supercharged Cadillac
Kelley Blue Book lists the supercharged Escalade V-Series at 6,361 pounds, versus 6,067 pounds for the regular V-8 trims.
The high-performance version carries almost 300 extra pounds over the standard models, which are already above the 6,000-pound line, so the supercharged hardware makes a large SUV larger still. Anyone cross-shopping the trims should know that even the least heavy Escalade listed here is a very large vehicle that weighs more than six thousand pounds, and the gap matters for tires and brakes.
8. 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer: Grand Wagoneer, Grand Weight
The 2026 Grand Wagoneer Summit Obsidian and Summit Reserve weigh 6,175 pounds each, per Kelley Blue Book’s styles table.
The matching figures show that the two top Summit trims share the same curb weight, so choosing between the Obsidian and Reserve packages makes no difference at the scale. For a full-size luxury SUV with three rows of seats and a large frame, the number is typical of this class, and it places the Jeep squarely among the heavyweights in this gallery.
9. 2026 BMW XM: Plug-In Heft With Pace
BMW’s plug-in hybrid XM weighs 6,091 pounds yet reaches 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and offers 30 miles of electric range, according to Kelley Blue Book.
The numbers capture the case for plug-in hybrids and the cost of the approach: the weight is far above most cars, yet the powertrain still delivers brisk acceleration and a useful stretch of electric driving. The combination adds up to a large, quick SUV that carries both a gas engine and a battery, which is exactly why the total stays so high even with the electric range kept modest.
10. 2027 Land Rover Range Rover (P550e plug-in hybrid): Range Rover’s Plug-In
The plug-in hybrid 2027 Range Rover P550e weighs 6,025 pounds, according to Kelley Blue Book, which says the coming electric version will be just shy of 6,200.
The P550e sits at the bottom of this gallery, yet it still clears the 6,000-pound mark, which shows how high the bar has risen for luxury SUVs that carry a plug-in battery. The note about the upcoming electric model suggests the next version will add roughly another 175 pounds, so the heaviest Range Rover is likely yet to arrive.
