Where's that weight coming from with all of the plastics and fiberglass and lack of steel, metal of any kind?

I also used Cat scales- why isn’t yours showing the drive axle weight?Here's my 2024 2.7 2 door bl SAS with full tank, me (180 lbs) and 60 lbs of recovery gear. (Before all the front end equipment)

That funny...and the old jeep had no aluminum.The base 2-door curb weight (for 2022 model) is listed as 4,294 lbs. There's no free lunch, it's a balancing act between adding functionality or appearance items, and the performance penalty of the added weight.
Overall it's odd how vehicles have gotten quite heavier over the years, especially given the supposed goals of saving fuel. Curb weight of my 1985 CJ-7 is around 2,700 lbs. My Bronco is 1600 lbs heavier!
