US Payload

[Msnow22]

Any idea where the US payload will finalize, the US brochure says 1841 lbs with no driver, the Australian brochure says petrol 5 seater at 1999 lbs. The guys at the demo say they have like 5 different spring rates and said 1600lbs. Just curious if anyone has anymore info on this for the US spec? Also anymore rumors of a longer wagon with true 2200 lbs payload?

please have in mind that the Australians get an extra 50 kilogram payload (what ever this is in lbs) for beeing so incredible good looking!

That would be 110lbs

That would be 110lbs

So the Australians get 110 lbs more payload for beeing extremely good looking and very smart as well!

Maybe they are compensating for the average weight of Americans

Now that’s some forward thinking by the engineers

1841# is not very much - thought it would have been higher. My X5 is about 1600# before driver. Note that these weights do not include the weight of fuel which also must be subtracted
