Has anyone got these values for a manual 1990 DA Ford Maverick with the petrol 4.2l motor?
I don’t have the handbook and cant find the details.

GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass)
TARE
GCM (Gross Combination Mass)
Maximum tow load
Maximum tow ball weight

It has a Nissan tow bar rated at 3200 Kg max load but this could be over rated for the vehicle. I don't know

Thanks

Yea only good for 2.5T mate.
Just search gq patrol. Exactly the same machine.

2.5T manual or auto?
Looks more like the auto version, thought the manual trans was a bit higher.

My Mave is a manual, GVM is 2800.

So what is its tow ability or did you mean 2800 for towing?

Not having the hand book is not useful at all.

Nah mate, I just meant GVM, not sure of towing capacity.

Thanks guys.
Getting somewhat confused as I have for the 4.2 petrol Mav the following:
Max tow
Manual trans 2800 Kg or 2500 kg
Auto trans 2500 kg

My van is a GMV of 2400 Kg so I hope the 2800 kg is correct….

Now if the Mav has a GU III 4.5 petrol motor vs the original one so what extra additions to the mod do I need to consider before hitting SA Transport?
