Maximum permitted weights and loads
!
On vehicles with a permissible gross vehicle weight of 11030 lbs (5003 kg), the permissible
gross combination weight is less than the total of the permissible gross vehicle weight and
the permissible trailer load. Exceeding the permissible gross combination weight can lead
to damage to the drivetrain, to the transmission or to the trailer tow hitch.
If the vehicle or the trailer is fully laden, the relevant value for the permissible gross vehicle
weight or the permissible trailer load is therefore lower. In this case, the trailer or the vehicle
may only be partially loaded.
The permissible weights and loads which cannot be exceeded can also be found:
R in your vehicle documents and
R on the identification plates of the trailer tow hitch, trailer and vehicle (Y page 319).
You will find the basic values approved by the manufacturer in the following table. If the values
differ, the lowest value applies.
Make sure that you adhere to the weight restrictions by having the weight checked on a
calibrated weighbridge. Vehicle
