My questions are coming thick and fast.

Does anyone have the Front/rear axle weight of the T4 trident to hand?

Hi hamps-w. According to my hanbook the weights you require are as follows:

Front in Running Order - 1278; and

Rear in Running Order - 883

These figures are for a 2.5 TDi base vehicle.

Hope this helps.

Mike Riley.

Mike - are you sure about those? The rear looks way too low.

The maximum permissible loads on my T5 are 1550kg front axle and 1500kg rear.

Hi there. There are two sets of figures given in my handbook. The ones I have already posted (ie: the axle weights in Running Order) and the Maximum Technically Permissable Laden Mass (MTPLM).

The latter figures for a 2.5TDi are as follows -

MTPLM Front - 1480; and

MTPLM Rear - 1330.

Hope this makes things clearer.
