Thread: How much does my D4 weigh

I have a similar config (2013 HSE)without the Kaymar rear bar. With roof box, two spares, traxide, bullbar, winch, driving lights, fridge and fridge box, sliders and under body protection mine came in at 3100kg with the driver when I weighed it before we went to the Cape. You are best to put it over the scales if you are concerned.

Edit. Forgot the Ultimate Camper was attached so probably take 130kg off that number. Here is the photo at the scales

90% of modified Discoveries with a family inside and a camping trip worth of stuff in the back will be overweight, 100% with a significant trailer on behind as well.

I have a 2006 TDV6 HSE (7 seats) with all of the accessories you have listed plus a safari snorkel and the Landrover Front Bar (the rubber one). I weighed my car a few years back after a tip run and was a bit shocked as it tipped the scales at 2.8tonnes..

Easy to weigh it but my 2010 SE 3.0l (SDV6) with Kaymar bar, ECB bull bar, Traxide, 110l long range tank, snorkel, Mitch Hitch, GOE compressor cover, half full D4 main tank, empty LR tank is 2740 kg. Yours would probably be around 100kg lighter with no bull bar and no rear seats.

I have been hunting around and found a few things. My thinking may not be correct though

Weights (based on what I have found in the forum and else where

Kaymar rear bar with a single SWC
Weight of bar + SWC is 78kg

You need to offset old bumper (20kg)
I have a 5 seater D4 so can take off 3rd row weight (75kg)
Given these then the should not be any additional weight from adding the bar to a normal 7 seater

Mitch Hitch

Similar weight to the old LR hitch

Traxide dual battery
Around 35kg

LRA 108l aux tank

Tank is 42kg
100l fuel = 90kg
Total 132kg

If the above thinking is correct I have a net gain of around 165kg


Big assumption here. The doco states the GVW is 3240 (or is it 3260) for both 5 and 7 seaters and the kerb weight for a 7 seater is 2558 so mine would be 2558 - 75 = 2483 (i.e. a payload of 757kg)

Drive over a weigh bridge.....it's the only way you will actually know.

Local Tip will often do it for you....

Agree about weigh bridge but still worth juggling figures.


To summarise my figures above:-

1. I should have a payload of 757kg (as have no 3 row seats)
2. My net payload (after main accessories) is
757
- 78 (kaymar bar)
+ 20 (old bumper bar)
- 0 (mitch hitch as same as LR hitch)
- 35 (dual battery)
- 132 (aux tank + 100l fuel)
Oops forgot the snorkel.



= 537kg to play with

So I should fit with my wife plus a few other extras.
