With driver on board, it came in at 2810kg. The owner's manual gives the following figures for the 4.6 litre petrol auto model. So it's 30kg above GVM and that's with a half-full long range tank and only one person on board.

The Rangie has a roof rack, awning, long range tank, an LPG tank, Kaymar rear bar and wheel carrier. It doesn't have a bull bar (I took it off). It's fitted with drawers, an Engel fridge, and the tent was on the roof rack.

GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT
Total ................................ 2780 kg
Maximum Payload................. 603 kg

EEC KERB WEIGHT
......................................... 2220 kg

NOTE: EEC KERB WEIGHT is the minimum vehicle specification plus full fuel tank and 75 kg (165 lb) driver.

NOTE: GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT is the maximum all-up weight of the vehicle including driver, passengers, and equipment. This figure is liable to vary according to legal requirements in certain countries.

Im not surprised, arent they about 2 tonne empty with one average weight person and full tank, I'll bet mine is just about near 2.5 most of the time.....very heavy for the size of the vehicle.
