I am not sure you should document-advertise that you are knowingly overloading your van. The GVWR, (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating), for the Syncro is 5512 lbs. In the event of an accident, it would be an easy case negligence case since you knew. Of course you can also be fined. Stop by a truck stop and get the van weighed, each axle and total. Adjust weight as needed.

See the vehicles owners manual or tire sticker on = door jamb for correct pressures. 50 PSI is incorrect inflation pressure = for the Vanagon. This thread (50 psi) has been dribbled to death here on this list. Sean Garrett 81 Westy (his) 87 Syncro (Subie project) 95 EVC (hers) Central Arizona |
