I entered the detai;s for my 2005 X-Trail

2.2 dCi 136 Sport 4x4

and my 2004 model Swift Charisma 540. The results are definitely incorrect. for both. The club states that the X-Trail kerbweight is 1515kg and includes the vehicle plus a full tank of fuel. other sites give a figure of 1700kgs (based on 90% full tank and 75kg allowance for driver and luggage).

 

I took my X-Trail to a certified public weighbridge with no load or driver and a full tank of fuel the weight was 1650kg. This included a tow bar of just under 20kg. So without towbar 1630kg. This figure relates closely to details given on other forums where drivers have weighed their same model X-Trail. 

 

Always pays to check. I shall be using a figyre of 1720kg for my kerbweight based on 90% furl, 75kg for drivers allowance and including the fitted towbar.
