on escort vans what does the 55 & 75 mean? We were having an argument at work today. I said its something todo with the weight it coud carry (couldnt remember what) everyone else was saying it was the bhp, which I know is wrong. Not sureif mine is right, but I deffinately know bhp is wrong.

Can anyone settle this please?

Cheers

 

top speed

 

lol

 

its the bhp i think

 

cant be as they all have the same engines. If it was 55bhp fully laden with shit it wouldnt move!!

 

i think its the weight it can carry

 

I thought it was to do with payload.

itsa the wieght as far as i know

 

on my old one it was the percentage of rust on the body work!
