Why Weigh Your Vehicle?
Cars & 4WDs
Overweight cars and 4WDs can be a result of multiple accessories or vehicle modifications, this includes accessories such as bull bars, roof racks etc and modifications like larger wheels, long range fuel tanks and dual battery systems.
Every bit of weight consumes your available payload (typically 500-600kgs for most 4WDs – a legal limit set by the vehicle manufacturer). Payload is consumed not only by the weight of accessories and modifications, but also from your cargo, fuel and passengers.
