[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 591087, member: 10304"] Done your sums condor22, recon a few people might need to read and digest. :8 I haven't heard what the road and compliance boys were up to this year but weight is becoming a big issue now and a lot of people seem to fail to understand the what's and why's until all goes pear shaped. AND... when the Insurers run their analysis, they're likely to drop out of the game and you're uninsured. :awful: The concept of the "1 tonner" is a joke and people don't seem to realise that it's the max load over basically dry weight, bodies, fuel, goodies the lot then add the ball load, no wonder the chassis snaps. Another problem with 1 tonners is the real axle position, the rear overhang can be massive with around 2/3rds of the tray behind the axle not in front. Fortunately not a problem I have with Lizzy the 5.6t truck :) [/QUOTE]
