    1coolbanana,

    Don't know what you have in the back, but if you have draws, cargo barriers, water tanks, recovery
    gear, camping gear etc the weight goes up quickly. In fact keeping the truck within the legal max payload
    becomes a problem.

    Cheers

      Normally (5 days a week) I have nothing in the back except for false floor and second battery setup.

      Just saying that my "unladen" vehicle carries those weights over the axles.

      What you want to put in your vehicle is up to you and you can bias the weight any way you like.

          Actually, if you don't want to go to a weighing station, you could measure the contact area for a known tyre pressure and work it out backwards.
