HI, I'm looking for axle weights for an unladen 3 door hippo?
I've found this in the manual:
Our one is a Diesel Auto, so that will put it at the heavier end of the scale, call it 1525kg tare, and it's got a MAM / MGVW of 2050kg, but then the axle weights add up to 2170kg? What I'm really looking for is the axle weights on an empty vehicle (tare) or weight distribution 60/40 or whatever?
In case we can't get a number, I'm going to show my workings as I try and calculate one:
Starting with the 1525kg tare weight, and deducting that from the 2050kg MGW, leaves 525kg pay-load?
The pay-load is presumably in the boot?
So taking that 525kg payload off the back axle maximum weight of 1120kg, and I've got a theoretical back axle tare weight of 595kg?
Last step is to take the 595kg back axle tare weight off of the 1525kg vehicle tare weight, which leaves me with a theoretical front axle tare weight of 930kg (1525kg - 595kg)?
Gives me a 61%fr / 39%rr weight distribution?
Do these numbers sound about right? Or have I missed something because I'm being an absolute mongtard because I'm full of manflu round two? (last one was COVID)
