Factory Land Rover Axle Weights
RESEARCH EDITION · COVERAGE INCOMPLETE
Look up factory front, rear and (for 6x6) intermediate axle masses by Land Rover model, body, engine and published specification. All figures are in kilograms.
65 sourced EEC kerb axle splits · 45 separate unladen axle splits · 1 Army normal-mass axle split · 399 total-only records. These are source-specific records, not a complete list of every model year, trim or body. A dash means the source gives no axle figure.
Factory reference weights describe a standard vehicle in the source’s stated condition. Accessories, conversions and equipment change the axle loads; use measured axle weights for your own suspension setup.
Source-specific vehicle masses (kg). EEC kerb and unladen are distinct conditions. Maximum axle capacities are not included as kerb weights.

Coverage and outstanding research by model
This is the research scope, not a claim that every listed derivative has a verified record. A model without sourced figures remains visible in the selector so gaps are explicit. Special bodies, market specifications and model-year changes require their own evidence.

Reading the figures: EEC kerb commonly includes a 75 kg driver in these older sources; unladen definitions vary. Open “Source and conditions” on the relevant record. Do not subtract driver or fuel mass from an axle without its position and loading distribution. Factory axle masses include unsprung mass and cannot be treated directly as spring loads.
