Have a look at your VIN plate located under the bonnet. The 4 boxes below the long VIN no. give the relevant weight limits for your vehicle. The first one is the Gross Vehicle Mass, the second is the Gross Train Mass, the third is the Maximum Permissable Front Axle Mass and the fourth is the Maximum Permissable Rear Axle Mass.
