V ehic le  WeightsVEHICLE WEIGHTS
DEFINITIONS:
•Curb Weight: minimum unladen vehicle weight plus a full fuel tank.
•Gross Vehicle Weight: maximum permissible weight of vehicle with driver, passengers, payload 
equipment and towing attachment load (where applicable)
NOTE: The maximum axle weights are individual axle loadings which allow for the fitting of optional 
equipment. Loading both axles to their respective maximums MUST BE AVOIDED, as the overall 
maximum vehicle weight would then be exceeded.
The individual maximum axle weights and gross vehicle weight must not be exceeded.Approximate curb weights (excluding options)
- Vehicles with coil spring suspension 4608 - 4718 lb (2090 - 2140 kg)
- Vehicles with self levelling suspension 4641 - 4751 lb (2105 - 2155 kg
Maximum gross vehicle weight
- 5-seat vehicles with coil spring suspension 6063 lb (2750 kg)
- 7-seat vehicles with coil spring suspension 6228 lb (2825 kg)
- Vehicles with self levelling suspension 6228 lb (2825 kg)
Maximum front axle load
- All vehicles 2646 lb (1200 kg)
Maximum rear axle load
- 5-seat vehicles with coil spring suspension 3792 lb (1720 kg)
- 7-seat vehicles with coil spring suspension 3968 lb (1800 kg)
- Vehicles with self-levelling suspension 3968 lb (1800 kg)

Wheels & TiresWHEELS & TIRES
WARNING
•ALWAYS use the same make and type of radial-ply tires front and back. DO NOT use bias-ply 
tires, or interchange tires from front to back.
•For optimum performance and handling ALWAYS replace tires with the same make and type 
as those fitted from new at the factory. If these tires are not available, consult your retailer 
for advice on Land Rover approved alternatives. Failure to do so may adversely affect vehicle 
handling.
•NEVER drive your vehicle if the tires are badly worn, cut or damaged, or if the pressures are 
incorrect.
•Incorrectly inflated tires wear rapidly and can seriously affect the vehicles safety and road 
handling characteristics.
•Your vehicle is fitted with tubeless road wheels that will NOT accept inner tubes. DO NOT fit 
a tube tire.
•ONLY Land Rover approved wheel and tire combinations should be fitted to the vehicle.

Tire pressures
NOTE: Tire pressures must be checked with the tires cold, as the pressure is about 20 kPa (3 psi) 
higher at running temperature. If the vehicle has been parked in the sun or high ambient 
temperatures, DO NOT reduce the tire pressures, move the vehicle into the shade and wait for the 
tire to cool before checking the pressures.
