    GVW/GVM raitings. What is it for what model.

    I have seen this subject miss guided time after time on facebook. So I thought why not have it posted somewhere I can just link people to.

    If you believe I have something wrong please let me know. I don't believe it to be incorrect though!
    Or if there is something you think is worth adding.

    HQ XX7 sandman only. V8 and 6cyl No derated GVW

    HJ XX7 sandman only. upto 9/75 6cyl GVW 2155kg
    HJ XX7 sandman only. upto 9/75 V8 GVW 2200kg
    HJ XX7 sandman from 10/75 6cyl GVW 1860kg
    HJ XX7 sandman from 10/75 V8 GVW 1950kg
    HJ XU3 sandman introduced form 10/75 6cyl GVW 2155kg
    HJ XU3 sandman introduced form 10/75 V8 GVW 2200kg
    HJ non sandman's 6cyl GVW 2155kg
    HJ non sandman's V8 GVW 2200kg

    HX XX7 sandman's V8 GVW all were 1950kg
    HX XU4 was introduced (non sandman but derated GVW for sedan tyres) 6cyl 1860kg
    HX XU4 was introduced (non sandman but derated GVW for sedan tyres) V8 1950kg
    HX XU3 sandman's V8 all were 2200kg
    HX 6cyl all were 2155kg
    HX non sandman's V8 all were 2200kg

    HZ XX7 all sandman utes V8 1950kg
    HZ XU4 (non sandman but derated GVW for sedan tyres) 6cly all were 1860kg
    HZ XU4 (non sandman but derated GVW for sedan tyres) V8 all were 1950kg
    HZ XX7 sandman upto 1978 were all 1950kg
    HZ XX7 sandman van from 1978 were all 2000kg
    HZ XU3 sandman's V8 all were 2200kg
    HZ non sandman's V8 all were 2200kg


    Edit:
    XX7 and XU3 are the option codes given to all sandman's. Brisbane stamped onto tags. Other plants did not.
    This code gave the non sandman van or ute the "sandman package"
    Only difference between XX7 and XU3 is the option of passenger vehicle tyres. This excludes all pre 10/75 Sandman's. As it was not an option on all these models. All prior 10/75 models were option code XX7.
    XX7 upto 9/75 - Sandman Package normal commercial tyres
    XX7 from 10/75 - Sandman Package passenger tyres
    XU3 - Sandman Package normal commercial tyres

    XU4 is a non sandman packaged van or ute. But it was fitted with passenger tyres. So therefore has a derated GVW/GVM.
