Autotrail Tracker EKS 53 plate Vin and axle weight plate

[HOGGY]

Hi Folks does anyone know if there is a second vin plate on the Tracker? The plate in the engine bay says the max weight is 3000kgs, the handbook says 3400kgs, the V5 says 3500kgs, I'm confused and I'm wondering if there is an Autotrail plate hidden somewhere. I'm thinking I might need to uprate the van if the 3000 is the only plate.
Any advice will be gratefully received.

Hi Hoggy...Look at this https://www.auto-trail.co.uk/assets/downloads/files/fb6e674a78e33577dc45e8365a215d3d99635173.pdf
It shows the truck you have for 2003 and 2004. The Pay load is what is left from both axles weight limits and the gross vehicle weight according to the specs. Looks like it has a 3650 max across the axles and you take the max gross weight from that (3400kgs) leaving 250kgs roughly.

There should be a Fiat (Assuming it's a Fiat) plate (1st build)
There should also be an converters plate(2nd build)
It doesn't have to be a metal plate and it doesn't have to be under the bonnet.
Look in the door well or wardrobe etc.
Are you certain the plate is 3000kg and not a badly stamped 3300kg or 3500kg.
It's the first time I've heard of one at 3000kg.

Hi Kev,
Just had a look at the link you advised which indeed shows a payload of 250 kg for our van, thanks for that!!

Hi Pappajohn,
Our Fiat van is the 2 ltr version on what Autotrail describe as a chassis mode 11 rated at 3000kg, by doing the maths, it shows a payload of 250 kg as advised by Kev. Thanks.

It's the first time I've heard of one at 3000kg.

I¡ve seen them at every 100kgs all the way down to 2,35t. More so over here.

Our Autotrail Tracker had two vin plates as far as I remember.

Our IH definitely does.
