Excel Combined gross weight.

I'm trying to find the combined gross vehicle weight rating while towing for a Pleasure-way Excel TS with the V-8 engine. I had a 2007 and I believe it was noted on a spec. sheet in the closet or possibly the door jamb. If anyone knows the answer, I would appreciate a post. I e-mailed PW last week as it doesn't show on their site and no reply to date.

Thanks,

Nick

  • The GCWR difference may be due to different rear axle ratios.

    Different rear axle ratios would not change the GVWR, but will usually affect the GCWR.

    Cheers.
  • They must have changed the rating when ford changed the chassis. Phil confirmed it to be 13,000#.

    Thanks for showing the sticker

  • I found it, a dealer is advertising it at 13,000 lbs. for the V-8 model.

    Thanks,

  • HI I have a 06 ford PW XL TS V-8. Manufactured Oct 05 by PW.
    Hers what the sticker says. Its all in Metric. Sorry

    GVWR-4305 KG
    Cargo Capacity-332 KG
    This is calculated to include four passengers @ 280 KG
    With the fresh water tanks full: Fresh-90.4 KG Hot-22.6 KG
    Waste tanks empty ( But mass of waste tanks full is 113 KG )
    The previous owner had put a trailer hitch on (500 pounds total tongue wgt)
    I have not pulled a trailer yet but plan to in the future to haul a motorcycle. I do have a rear
    cargo box on the hitch presently. Hope this helps BOB
