The owners manual says 2583kg with a full tank of fuel.
I had about 1/3 of a tank left.

Did you get out or stay in the vehicle at the weigh in?

I assume kerb weight doesn't account for the driver so depending on our girth's we will be adding anywhere between 75 - 100+ kg's on

This whole weight thing has me thinking about how much is too much. All up with the caravan we are around 6500kg. The D4 pulls this weight with not much effort and you would never guess the thing was pulling that much mass.

I am now going to look for weight savings on the caravan. On the last trip we were not even packed for longer term remote travel which was the plan for this caravan.

The tare on the caravan is around 2700 kg which in hind-site is too much. With an ATM of 3500kg I have an 800kg load allowance and I have used every bit of that... How, I have no idea. 300kg for water and gas and 500kg for stuff....?

Its easy to see how some people overload caravans.

The 2583kg also includes 75kg for the driver, according to the manual.

I was actually out of the vehicle and off the weigh bridge.

My basically standard D3 HSE with me in it and a full tank is 2.86 ton.

With our van hitched it has a combined weight of 5.34 ton.

If I added front and rear bars plus a winch, along range tank full of fuel, a second spare wheel, sliders, under body protection, full 60 litre fridge, the better half and the usual gear one puts in the back and then add roughly a 250 kg ball weight then chances are 3.5 ton would be exceeded easily.

I bet more then a few D3/4 and Crusier owners with all the off road gear fitted and who tow vans would be surprized if they weighed their combined rigs with full tanks and their butts sitting in their seats.

Judging by the many 3.0l auto Patrols ones sees on the road with large vans on the back even without lots of off road gear fitted they are way over.

And I thought you were being rude Disco ?

I am much the same as mowog, with the petrol 80 serise we were always between 6 and 6.5 tonnes with the van on, way too much. looking forward to the extra torque in the D3.
Driving the D3 home from Brisbane on the weekend, will weigh it when I get an oportunity it is stock standard.
