Car weight

[Libra]

I have looked in the manual and on the vin plate (n/s/f) inner wing and its show that my S60R weighs 2100Kg. I have seen specification details stating the car is around 1600kg.

On page 159 of the owners handbook for S60 and S60R the weights are as follows

1. Max. total weight = 2100kg
2. Max. train weight (car+trailer) = 3700kg
3. Max front axle load = 1100kg
4. Max rear axle load = 1050kg

Maybe it could be. Enough about weight now as I know my answer I think.

I'm not totally sure and a quick internet search probably could resolve the query, but I think the the specification is the maximum kerb weight that each axle can take.
A 850/S/V70 are around 1600+kgs
The max carrying capacity is 2100kgs
This allows you to load the car with 500kgs of gold before the VOSA drag you away to a weigh bridge.

You must distribute the load so that you down overload one and not the other..

Cheers for that extra information.
