What Is The Gross Vehicle Weight of The T4 Transporter?

[Jabe]

I was just wondering what the gross weight of the T4 transporter is... Preferably the 1998 LWB 1.9TD version. If you don't have this handy, what is the model and weight of your T4?

Regards, Jabe.

A gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the maximum allowable total mass of a road vehicle or trailer when loaded - i.e including the weight of the vehicle itself plus fuel, passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight.

T4a Pre-Facelift
Van 800 2400kg
Van 1000 2730kg
Van 1200 LWB 2890kg
Caravelle 2730kg
Chassis Cab 2890kg

T4b Facelift
Van 800 2480kg
Van 1000 2840kg
Van 1200 3000kg
Caravelle SWB 2710kg
Caravelle LWB2930kg
Multivan 2740kg
Kombi SWB 2840kg
Kombi LWB 3090kg
Chassis Cab 3000kg

Thanks for the speedy reply Jim.

I think I asked the question wrong, I thought "Gross Vehicle Weight" ment the weight of the vehicle in question, excluding the load it can handle. If that is what it means, and you gave me the stats for the fully loaded, then that means the 1000 TD minus around... 1,000 kilos? = 1.8 tonnes... Correct?

Unladen weight should be marked on your logbook (UK), possibly as revenue weight.

I've been struggling to find out the laden weight of mine so I can apply for a permit to allow me to use our local recycling centre! (Vans need a permit in our area even if it's used for non-commercial use)

My logbook says 1722.0 KG unladen weight
My plate/sticker in the engine bay says:
2800
4500
1- 1510
2- 1490

I think this means that my gross vehicle weight is 2800kg and the maximum towable weight is 4500kg

Anyone know what the others figures mean? I've had a bit of a google but can't find anything helpful...

2800 mgvw
4500 max combined weight, so it means you can tow 1700kg
1 - 1510 max weight on front axle
2 - 1490 max weight over rear axle

GVW = Weight of van + Weight of contents

Hmm, as soon as you say that it's obvious - I probably should have been able to figure it out for myself!

Thanks Woofer and Zmok!

before i started work on my t4 i emptied it of every thing and drove to the dump and got it weighed. it was 1600 kg
"1673kg with you in it , making you eleven and a half stone of nice" said the large greasy gyppo behind the counter. still makes me shudder to this day
