I don’t know of an SUV that only weighs 2000 pounds.

Yes, you are correct. It is likely closer to 6000 pounds.

I have made the same type of error, in a rush to get out a story. There is also a typo in the story, where the story reads “for Lawrence” instead of “from Lawrence”.

I would like to encourage a little understanding of the new media on these points. We often work without a net (editor) to catch these sort of errors.

I have been looking for volunteer editors for my work. No takers yet.

No problem. From some of the howlers I see in the DBM having an editor is no guarantee of accuracy anyway.

I’m betting the author thought 1 Ton was 1,000 lbs......
Thus, a 2 ton vehicle becomes 2,000 lbs.....
