Altering the weight of your vehicle
Altering the weight of your vehicle
Please note that altering the weight limit of your vehicle, especially increasing weight, can have negative effects, such as an increase fuel consumption, reduced cruising speed, tyre wear, as well as adding additional strain to many components of your vehicle & drivetrain, and may effect the coverage of the manufacturer's warranty (if applicable). It is the vehicle owner’s responsibility to check with the OEM & supplying manufacturer to ensure that their vehicle will continue to be in compliance, and to choose to proceed or not accordingly.

Alteration of a vehicle's weight will affect both the centre of gravity and the braking effectiveness of the vehicle. This will have been calculated to remain within the dynamic limits of the base vehicle, but VWE urges that extreme caution be used when encountering driving conditions which may cause vehicle imbalance, and may mean that more distance will be required to stop the vehicle. It is the owner’s responsibility to caution and warn any potential driver of the vehicle about these driving and handling conditions.
