Subscriberah gotcha.Yeah, I see what you mean......................all in the interpretation
rear floor = rear passenger floor. I will remove the rear seats for extra storage and reduce weight as well.

2.6 tonne. all day everyday
Plus fule water and bodys, and what ever toys thay decide to bring with them.
fule i keep down just 50 bucks a fill but have 128ltrs, water empty but now can cary 100 ltrs
Thank god I'm not the only bugger who runs heavy!
I'm starting to question some of the other weights people reckon their vehicle is TBH - not sure blokes are actually using calibrated scales...
To the OP, if you've hit a winch, bulbar, driving lights, second battery, longrange tank, towbar, roofrack and a basic recovery kit you're already added 250kg to your truck.
Fuel and two occupants puts you up another 300kg, give or take.
Add camping gear, clothes, fridge and a second spare gets you at least another 150kg and you've still got nothing to:
a) eat;
b) drink; and
c): do basic repairs with.
Lets call it 100kg for that eh?
Storage drawer and a rear wheel carrier is another 100kg too. Side steps and a compressor are at least another 50kg.
That makes it a 950kg load by my count (plus a little extra for maps, UHFs, cargo barriers, gullwings, reversing lights, spare fluids and a RTT). Hmm looks like GVM to me...

SubscriberThis is what motivated my post, the weight of some of the guys vehicles seems scary. When you read about people who like to find cavities to put extra accessories in and to avoid filling the load space to store more gear, but even if you manage to keep your loadspace empty, your truck is pretty dam heavy to begin with once it's fully accessorised. You cant really put that much more into the rig anyway, unless you are happy to go over GVM.Thank god I'm not the only bugger who runs heavy!

I think I'll just be happy to have the roof rack,fill the loadspace with gear and accessories and leave it at that.

good chance you will be close or over GVM.........
I too wonder about weights stated........I have a certified weigh bridge which makes things easy

SubscriberI have put my water tank, second battery, fridge and compressor into the load space with my home made drawer setup. This doesnt really leave me alot of room left which is good in my mind Add my wife and two little monkeys and the car feels pretty heavy and thats without the roof rack and all the camping gear, food and clothing etc.
I figure I would have to call BINGO on GVM.
