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.

There are crossover SUV’s that are only a little bit bigger than a compact car.

I’m not sure about these sport bikes but it used to be that 4-wheel vehicles would stop more quickly than 2-wheel vehicles.
