Why don’t they do tests with real loads in them of varying weight Or more so all having the same weight their stock wheels tyres people can relate and gives close to a real world result.

Agreed, lets be honest, most of these things get loaded to the hilt with work tools, materials or leisure accessories/equipment, load them all up to max GCM and do a performance comparison.

Real world conditions.

My ex bought a Triton and put a massive 75kg bullbar plus 25kg winch on it.
The front axle on them only have a 170kg load... So basically it's going to be overloaded with two people up front.

To be really honest...in a real world a lot also have a trailer loaded with gear and/or carry racks loaded with concrete reinforcing mesh...where do you stop?


Just testing the cab chassis seems the fairest way.

In the real world they're unloaded driving like flogs on the Tullamarine Freeway with nothing in them, or driven by soccer mums doing school pickups

Thats why I said GCM, it includes vehicle and trailer to max combined load.
