Just started research in to the allowable load capacity of my vehicle and it gets a bit frightning when you add it all up. (Have posted a Payload Calculator in the Members file swap if you can not get to a weigh bridge). I will be heading to the weigh bridge after I load the beast for the trip next week, first calculations are scary. My mate is leaving for the Cape today and has a Toyota Dual cab 5l Diesel. He loaded this with most of his gear and off to the weighbridge, 100kg over GVM and still has to put in the Wife two kids and a bit more camp gear on top. This vehicle I can tell you has not got a real lot attached to it and just the usual in the back!

I will let you know how I go, but for now I am off to research the ramifications of the overloaded vehicle. Every time I see a loaded 4x4 on the road now it makes me wonder how we get away with it!

Maybee some of you have done the research and can give some quick informed answer and save me some square eyes. Regards Tony.
