Default A8 GVWR?
Anyone know the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating for an D3 A8?

Let's say a 2006 LWB for example.

Default Thanks - too bad it just misses the 6,000 lb mark
which would make it eligible for the $25,000
tax deduction :-(

Can you give me your source please?

Thanks

Default A 400# Christmas tree strapped to the roof
might do the trick especially if its paired to an ECU!!!

Default I think 5622 is wrong
As I recall, the D2 A8L was around 4200 lbs, and the D3 A8L was around 4500 lbs.

5622? What is this? The armoured version?

:-)

05 A8L curb weight is 4399lbs. so GVWR should be more than that

Default Even 5622 is on the low side me thinks.
That only gives an allowance of 244lbs/person based on 5 people. what about luggage and fuel?

Default So what is the difference between curb weight and gross vehicle weight?
Does it weigh differently when you drive away from the curb?
