How much does a 1991 Dodge Dynasty weigh?
Typically about 3,000 pounds (roughly 1,360 kilograms), with variations depending on engine and equipment. The curb weight for the 1991 Dynasty ranged roughly from the mid-to-upper 2,900s to just over 3,100 pounds depending on the configuration.
Engine options and their impact on weight
The Dynasty offered a couple of powertrains, and the chosen engine is the primary driver of weight differences. Heavier engines and certain options add noticeable pounds to the curb weight.
Engines and approximate curb weights:
- 2.5-liter inline-4 engine (base configuration), commonly paired with an automatic transmission; curb weight roughly 2,940–3,000 lb (1,335–1,360 kg).
- 3.0-liter V6 engine (optional), heavier by design; curb weight roughly 3,020–3,100 lb (1,370–1,408 kg).
Note: These figures reflect typical curb weights for common configurations. Actual weight can vary with trim level, optional equipment, and accessories such as sunroofs, larger stereo systems, power options, and air conditioning.
Other factors that influence weight
Beyond engine choice, factors such as trim level, optional features, and the presence of failure-prone but heavier equipment (like certain climate-control or luxury add-ons) can shift the curb weight by a few dozen pounds. Official sources from the era generally report a narrow range, since the drivetrain and body shell remained consistent across most 1991 Dynasty models.
Summary of typical weights by configuration
In practical terms, most 1991 Dodge Dynasties fall within a narrow window around 2,940–3,100 pounds, with the V6 version heavier than the base four-cylinder. If exact figures are needed for a specific car, consulting the original window sticker or Chrysler/DDL archives for that VIN and trim is recommended.
Summary
The 1991 Dodge Dynasty typically weighed about 3,000 pounds, varying mainly with engine choice—roughly 2,940–3,000 lb for the 2.5L inline-4 and about 3,020–3,100 lb for the 3.0L V6—along with minor adjustments from optional equipment. This aligns with contemporary mid-size front-wheel-drive sedans of the era.
