How much weight is GQ Patrol LWB allowed before it is deemed "overloaded" ?..
There are some figures on the tyre placard which state each axle but it doesnt seem enough... (1300 f and 1500 r) i think... Does that mean that the vehicle cannot weigh more than 2800kgs?..
It weighs 2380kgs at the moment when empty but with a full tank of petrol. ( 85litres )..
Only leaves me 400kgs if that is the rule.......
Regards......

GVM is the max weight....
The kerb weight is the weight unladen.
The difference is the payload and yes about 400kgs is about right.
Whatever you do you cannot (legally) go beyond GVM.
For a GU is just over 3 ton, with bullbar aux batt rear cargo draws etc
mine weights at 3 ton, which leaves very little for payload.
It is a reallity which has been brought up on mags for a while now (specially by Ron Moon).

Don't forget the weight of your passengers. If you have 8 adults at 100kg that is almost a tonne in itself. So why do the manufacturers put in 8 seats if they can't legally take the people?
