Payloads

It’s always important to understand exactly how much you can carry in your vehicle, as overloading can be dangerous. All manufacturers publish a variety of weights for their vehicles and they are usually described as follows:

  • Gross Vehicle Weight – the overall maximum weight the vehicle can be without a trailer.
  • Gross Train Weight – the overall maximum weight the vehicle can be with a trailer.
  • Unladen Weight – the weight of the manufactured standard vehicle without any options & extras. This normally also includes a full tank of fuel and no passengers.
  • Payload – the maximum weight that can be carried in the vehicle. Basically this is the Gross Vehicle Weight less the Unladen Weight.

With the VW Transporter the numbers after the letter T denote the Gross Vehicle Weight;

  • T30 – 3000kg
  • T32 – 3200kg

VW Transporter Model Jerba Conversion Total Conversion Weight Payload
VW T32 Short Wheel Base 102bhp Tiree/Taransay 2305 895
VW T32 Short Wheel Base 130bhp Tiree/Taransay 2380 820
VW T30 Short Wheel Base 174bhp Tiree/Taransay 2380 620
VW T32 Long Wheel Base 102bhp Cromarty 2400 800
VW T32 Long Wheel Base 130bhp Cromarty 2475 725
VW T32 Long Wheel Base 174bhp Cromarty 2475 725

Remember that any additional extras and options will of course add to your weight and thus reduce your overall payload, however, as an average passenger is assumed at 75kg, then with four passengers you will still have between 200kg to 500kg of surplus payload to take everything you’ll need for your trip – that’s equal to around 10 to 25 cases that you might take on a flight for a holiday abroad!!
