    Yep, it includes the accessories such as bullbar etc.

    If the speed of light = 299,792,458 m/s, what is the speed of dark?

    If you weigh more than 143kg than this is true

    Somehow (unless they have added weight to make the Tare this heavy) that weight is wrong for a 76series Cruiser.

    BTW Armadillo, GVM includes the driver, so as above if you weigh the same as Tombie, your over your GVM.

    GVM: 3.000
    Tare: 2.857
    Load: 0.143

    I have searched how this relates to ADR, and how this relates to the vehicle. I have found plenty of info relating to trailers, but not what it means in this case.

    Can someone explain what it exactly means?

    My take on this is the following;
    GVM = the total permissable weight of the vehicle
    Tare = The unladen weight of the vehicle - ie: without people or fuel
    Load = The maximum weight of the load the vehicle (including people and fuel) can carry to reach 3 tonne.

    Have I got this right??
    thats exactly what it means....

    HOWVER...

    you need to find out how the TARE was reached.

    For example the TARE weight of a series includes a full tank of fuel (if you have the small tank about 3/4 if you have the large tank fitted) and something like a 60 KG driver.

    so IF the TARE weight of the vehicle includes all the gear that is normally stowed on the vehicle and a driver then you can have an additional 143 kg on top of all of this,

    I think you'll find this vehicle is equipped for the mines which means over the standard machine it will have bull bar, cargo barrier, roll cage/rops, two spare tyres now if you intend to run the vehicle long term you don't leave the tyre on the rear door it will pull the door off so that usually means a replacement rear bumper with twin wheel carrier typically you run 10ply tyres over 8's whilst not a big difference between individual tyres multiply it by 6. As well as smaller items like first aid kit triangles radios fire extinguisher radio high line lights possibly twin batteries and if you have half a brain a hydraulic bottle jack because the factory thing is a joke. I can see them reaching the 2.8tonne very very rapidly.
