Just out of interest sake, i pulled out all my tools and stuff then filled the tank in the ute today and headed off to the weighbridge. 2.3T (not including me!) heck all the accesories add up, no wonder i use more fuel these days. So if the GVM for the 04 STR is 2920kg that leaves my legal payload at only 620kg. put in the rest of the family and all the camping gear i reckon i would be near maxed out every time i head off the the bush.

There was a thread a while back (it might have been something obvious like what do you weigh I don't remember) which discussed people loads and how much crap they carry around. I don't think it was just a D40 thread but I think a few people were suprised just how much crap they carry

In some cases it's lucky our cars don't sense load and decide whether to start or there would be many of us crapping before we leave home each day to try and ensure the weight was down.

I don't know the numbers, but anytime I have had the back full of camping gear I have noticed considerable sag. Which is a bit frustrating, since its not a really heavy load, it would certainbly be less than the average tradesmans tools. Since the bullbar and winch have gone on the front has dropped about 35mm.

I'm not going to be so demanding, if Mrs Woody wants to wash my car I don't care what she wears I'm just happy someone else is doing it.
I hope you didn't blast Little Woody with the water he might shoot off.

gvm according to redbook is 3035kg...
yet a rated payload of 1t... legally i can only carry 100kg lol

I'm fairly sure Dion answered that question in atleast one thread somewhere recently, maybe someone else remembers it or maybe he might come along and give you the low down but whatever the thread was about I don't remember.

Old thread but ,Well, I tried a weighbridge today, My d22 came to 2.4 tonnes, empty fuel tank, but it did have me and 2 spare wheels and all the other crap Ive added, Ive only got an alloy bar too, want to eventually get a steel bull bar and winch but that might be out of the question now. This zd30 is proving to be a great engine in the navara when you consider I have a 2 tonne trailer on week days plus the weight of the car at 2.4 tonnes , thats a lot of weight, 250000k and still drives like new, except slow, very very slow.
first thing i did with my nav was weight it.
here at work we have a weight bridge so i decided to do it with
full tank
16x7 alloy rims(4)
5 x BFGoodrich AT 265/75R16
tools
snorkel, highlift, compressor, and all the rescue equipments(about 20kg)
me
total weight: 2070Kg
here in chile GVM is 2840Kg... im guessing fully loaded nav will be over that weight but here the laws are pretty much a simple piece of paper
i dont know why is this heavy, nav is almost standar.
greetings!!
