How heavy is your Patrol???

[Steve4wdin]

As title says, With all the extra bits and pieces we add on such as recovery camping and every day carrying around, just how heavy is our Patrols? Has anyone actually weighed there 4b?

[Cuppa]

3700kg with water tanks & fuel tanks full, plus the weight of the drag chain I bought today.

Mine was 2270kg last time I weighed it. This was empty (coil cab ute) close to a full load of fuel bull bar, winch dual batteries and 2" lift.

[AB]

I think mine was around 2500 last time I checked at the tip.

Gq wagon, rear drawers, bar and winch.

My GQ was 2850kgs full of fuel heading to the bush last time I weighed it.

Since I have swapped the front bar and swapped steal cable for rope and no longer carry an 80lt fridge.

I reckon I'd be at least 2750kgs. I don't rely on others for anything though. Full recovery kit including multi snatch blocks and multi extensions etc. spares and all the tools I might need and often the tools others might need ;)

[AB]

I would guess mine would now be up to 2750 ish with all the crap inside the drawers and added accessories (turbo, battery, snorkel, tools, parts, fridge and slide and tyres, etc) these days....lol

Not sure but will weigh it to confirm as it one of those good to know things,
Interesting Newby and Cuppa 's figures, being basically the same 4x4
I have conflicting standard weights, one says STD GU ST auto = 2420 kg

@ Steve can you put OE weights in so we have something to compare to thanks
cab chassis they have at 2120 kg, that's 3lt
GU wagons DX to Ti = 2366 up to 2477 kg
I have no GQ info

This is what's written on the side of my Patrol (Ex Telstra 2005 GU DX ute with the pod on the back).

Mines about 2.8 some tools no camping gear, 1/3 fuel, fully loaded its over 3.5, just filled up and got 14.2 lt per 100 km over a 850km tank , draws empty no roof rack, combination city/hway,

[mudnut]

2800 kgs with my loaded camper (the tardis) attached.

[Cuppa]

I'm winning at the moment, but I know I'm not the heaviest. Somewhere out in the desert right now there is a Patrol weighing in at 4200kg. ;)

Hey Rossco........man up & put it over the scales fully laden! You could be the winner! Those numbers on the side are just an 'advertisement' to any authorities giving them figures to check on their weigh bridge & mean that you have 660kgs to 'play with'. Go on stick it on the scales & see how much over you are. ;)

This is what I used to carry in the 'boot'. lol. I think there's room for a tissue paper in there - somewhere. hahaha

It'd be interesting to find out if the tissue tipped me over on the scales. PML.

by jilly rossco looks like the whole house is in there, just a wild guess but i bet that just tips over the gvw.

[billoY61]

My Patrol gets heavier every month, I think it's pregnant. We all carry to much gear when were camping.

[threedogs]

Looking at Rossco's ,Cuppa has a light weight, I'll pop down and weigh it in the morning
after all my preaching hope I'm at the other end of the .scale. I don't carry extras like
an 80 kg empty drawer system, time will tell, lol

That was a slow trip home and I've since modified my 'luggage'. lol

In my defence, It was my first real camping trip, not far from home, so I snuck home and got extra stuff. Not any more! lol
