Q&A Americas Does the payload change depending on vehicle options?

[Msnow22]

Will the 1841 pounds of payload remain true no matter the options you load and is that the final payload for North America?

We'll get a formal answer from IA, but I cannot see how that is possible. Every option you add will add weight and thus the payload has to change. Things like the winch, sliders/steps, etc are heavy and I would think directly affect the "available" payload after build.

It's there already if you look at the CoC details each owner gets (at least in the EU format).

The GVM of the vehicle is fixed. The payload is the difference between the GVM and the weight of the vehicle. Every option you add to the vehicle reduces that margin and so the payload. If you add a 40kg roo bar, your payload goes down by 40kg unless you remove something else.

"As indicated in the helpful member answer, the overall payload of each vehicle will be specific to that vehicle and influenced by the optional equipment and accessories installed. "

Hello Ineos Americas

Glad to see you are checking in.

Any chance you can get your technical colleagues from Ineos HQ to look at and reso d to some of the technical queries first owners have?

Options will invariably change the payload. The only way to change that would be a GVM upgrade, but ATM there is none available
