Rav - 4 Kerb Weight

[Toyopia]

Can anyone tell me definitely, absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt what the actual kerb weight of a 2003 RAV-4 VX D4D is I have spent hours over this now , it isn`t quoted in the handbook and so far I`ve had answers of 1370kg - 1485kg.

I have found a Toyota figure of 1485kg for the VX the same off Parkers Guide but I`m still not sure.

Need to know for towing a caravan.

Anyone know for certain?

No, that will depend what planet you are on :P. (I won't ask ).

Anyway, from Toyota brochure dated Jan 2002. I can't see a 2003 VX being any different:

Top rank poster eh! I see why.

well, you did ask.

If you want the weight of your car, the only way you will ascertain this is by filling it full of fuel, sitting in it with whoever else will be sitting in the car and taking it to the local scrap merchant, carrying a 1kg bag of suger. You get the car et al weighed then drive round, throwing the bag of suger out and picking up the chitty showing the weight of the car - gross. That is yer kerb weight. Now BEHAVE AND GO AND DO IT.

Obviously the weight of the car will change depneding on what you have stored in it like tools, passengers, fuel, windscreen washer fluid,and the number of CDs. :P back

And if you thought that was complicated, wait till you deal with airlines , who can declare different MTOW (Maximum TakeOff Weight) - on which the calculation of airport landing fees are often based - for the same aircraft type....
