ok

moving back to SA in december and want to take my 1200 with me... mechanicaly it is 100% so wanting to know of what weight of goods would be saft to travel in the back of her??

thank you!

oh yea im going from rockhampton QLd to adelaide... so want it prety safe.

dont take my word for this but i heard ages ago from someone on the forum saying like 350-400kgs or something

they're a half tonne ute, so should be ok up to that point??

dunno know how much a CA engine weighs but we picked up a CA and transported it in the back of the 1200 ute we had at the time. she sat real low but went just fine.

Rated at half tonne (500kg) but would suggest only about 400kg.
Have had about 800kg of wood in mine several times but not real smart.
Took a 351 ford engine and 2 gearboxes to Melbourne (160klm) once and did it easy.

300-400 kgs on a long trip max i think

i had over a ton in mine and was a hellish drive home

Stock suspension feels better when riding on the bump stops (aprox 500-600kg's of green wood).

Now that I've got new shocks I don't put more than 400kg's of gravel/sand on it and I carry 50kg's of tools so probably 450 total. You can feel it on the brakes down hill but otherwise no worries.

Safe? 500kg is safe for short or long body.




The chassis can handle 500 kg (including driver) no worries. It will take longer to stop and to accelerate, so drive carefully.

cool thanks well im transporting 2 dogs, my tool's and a few other small things...
its not low either so should be ok
