Thanks for the info Marty,
Chrysler is strange on these new vans. My 14 Town and Country is about 40 lbs over the front GAWR with a full tank of gas, my sons middle row, my wife and I in the front row NOTHING ELSE in the van.
However, we are WAY under the tire ratings....
Ironically we are way under the rear axle rating.
And yes I weighed my van at a CAT scale.
I am under the opinion that most Chrysler Vans are pretty much running at GVWR for the most part based on how I see them loaded. However, the tire capacity on these vans is 1760 lbs per tire. So there is more than enough tire capacity to carry the loads.
Is the Van in the picture over GVWR? Probably...
But it's also highly likely to be way way under the tire ratings. That's the rating that I am very concerned about on any TV... Especially the half ton range payload vehicles. But there just my humble opinion based on experience.
Thanks!
Jeremiah
