Just trying to get an idea of the weight of a LWB IIa, single cab with Holden motor. Can only find general figures and I asssume they are hardtop.

Have to work out how much I'll be towing at the weekend......

A Series 3 tray back single cab - 6 cylinder weighs in at 1,580Kg I believe. It would be close to that I think.

My stage one tray top is 1790kg so about 16-1700kg would be about right depending on the tray

Hi Colin

If it's back is the ute tub, two blokes can carry that anywhere, but a flat tray four blokes would have trouble, one bloke can carry up to 40 kilos.

The Holden engine is probably 2/3 the weight of the Rover six.

As long as your towing vehicle weighs more that trailer load I can't see a problem with that. Just pray for a tail wind fuel wise.
