Hey guys,
Working out the weight of add-on's to the front of the Prado and had a bit of a shock with the front gross weight. If I understand correctly and have calculated reasonably, assuming only the addition of the Toyota Sovereign Bullbar and Toyota Winch cradle, full tanks of fuel and two passengers (assuming 60% distribution to the front axle) will already push the front of the car over the front Gross load limit. I assume I have made a mistake?
Front kerb load (estimate) 1140
Net weight of bar and cradle 41
Reserve tank (say 50%) 37
Say 60% weight of passengers 96
------------
Total 1314
Front gross load (estimate) 1290
If this is correct then there must be a lot of overloaded vehicles out there?
Looks like I wont be adding the winch on !
Any one able to confirm if this is true?
