Anyone know the offical pay load for the new model sprinter?

Look for the long wheel base with high roof. I have heard that in the book it states around the 1250kilo mark, but it is belived to be wrong.

After the Offical pay load. If people can help

It depends on what modeol you but mate iirc. The 2 series is the lowest of the capacities, then comes the 3 series right up to the 4 which is the highest. I am sure they said before the 2 could hold 2 tonne, the 3 was 3 tonne etc but I am probably wrong with that part. For definate though they have different load carrying capacities. The next two numbers tell you the power of the engine, ie a 311 has 109 bhp and the 316 has 156 bhp. So if you want a large capicty van that motors they buy a 416 cdi and chip it to nearly 200 bhp

Weight Watch

Gross weights now extend from 3.0 tonne to 5.0 tonne in a line-up that also includes 3.5-, 3.88-, and 4.6-tonners. All Sprinters ride on 16ins wheels and the 4.6-tonner can be ordered with single rear wheels rather than twins; another first.

Wearing what are sometimes referred to as 'super single' 285/65 R16C tyres, single wheels take up less room than twins so there is less wheel box intrusion. They don't weigh as much and offer lower rolling resistance. That should mean reduced diesel consumption.

Sticking with weight saving for a moment, Sprinter has been fitted with front transverse leaf springs made of fibreglass-reinforced plastic. They're a lot lighter than the more usual steel springs. New parabolic springs have been deployed at the back.

Many Sprinter models now have front axles with a higher load capacity than those found on the old model. Ratings range from 1,650kg to 2,000kg.

Take the gross weight of 3500 kgs and deduct the kerb weight of 2250 then that leaves 1250kgs payload. The above was taken from Whatvan.co.uk

Thanks mate

If you believe that 1250kg is incorrect, the only way to measure it is to take the van and have it weighed at a weigh bridge then subtract the figure you get from 3500 and that will give you your payload.
