Vehicle Weights and Payload

VEHICLE WEIGHTS AND PAYLOAD
When loading a vehicle to its maximum (Gross Vehicle Weight), consideration must be taken of the vehicle curb weight and the distribution of the payload to ensure that axle loadings do not exceed the permitted maximum values. It is the customer's responsibility to limit the vehicle's payload in an appropriate manner such that neither maximum axle loads nor Gross Vehicle Weight are exceeded.

Weights:

Curb Weight--equals the minimum unladen vehicle weight plus full fuel tank.


Gross Vehicle Weight--equals the maximum all up weight, with the driver, passengers, payload equipment and towing attachment load (where applicable)


Gross Vehicle Weight Condition--the maximum axle weights shown are individual axle loadings which allow for the fitting of optional equipment. The loading of both axles up to their respective maximums MUST BE AVOIDED, as the overall maximum vehicle weight would then be exceeded.


Tongue weight--maximum permissible is 250kg (550 lb).

Towed Weights:

Maximum permissible towed weights

NOTE: It is the Owner's responsibility to ensure that all regulations with regard to towing are complied with. This applies also when towing abroad. All relevant information should be obtained from the appropriate motoring organization.
