Or what is the unlaiden axel loadings?   Papillon (Papillon) New Member Username: Papillon Post Number: 5 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 09:43 pm:    Ok, Ok, your colective silence is golden. Let's try this. According to my owners manual the Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight of my D1 is 6,018 lbs. Max Front axle weight is 2,425 lbs or 40.3% of the total MGVW and the Max Rear axle weight is 3,635 lbs or about 59.7%. If we apply these percentages to the D1's curb weight of 4,453 lbs then we arrive at a front unlaiden axle load of about 1,795 lbs and a rear unladien axle load of 2,658 lbs. These figures would seem useful in calculating the D1's payload capacity. Thus: Front Payload (2425-1795)= 630 lbs Rear Payload (3635-2658)= 977 lbs Does this seem correct or am I off in some way. Your comments and thoughts greatly appreaciated. Papillon
