dear edward
we have a 1989 5 speed diesel
last weighed with lots of stuff in it -
but now i cant find the number ...
and last time i posted it incorrectly
anyway point is
i would not hesitate to rate the van at 1 ton -
my memory tells me that we had weight load = to empty weight -
but my memory is sort of dumb sometimes
point is - so long as great brakes are working well
loads are never a problem for the Vanagon
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
