Transits - 80, 120

If you look at the plate (current shape transit) under the door mirrors, I think the first set of numbers is the gross vehicle mass (weight in kg - but add a zero) and the 2nd set of numbers is the engine output (ps).
so, a 280T 125 is 2800kg and has the 125ps engine
Hmm thinking about, doesn't explain the 80 or 120 on it's own - perhaps thats for the old shape?

I've got a Transit Connect 200 LX - the 200 bit is the gross vehicle mass as Ali says. Also, and this worried me a bit, any goods carrying vehicle with a gross mass of over 2000kgs ( 2 tonnes, my Tranny is actually 2025kg ) is subject to the same speed limits as HGV's!. Therefore on an un-restricted dual carriageway/ motorway I can only do 60, and can't use the outside lane on the motorway.( I know this 'cos someone I know got a ticket through the post saying he was doing 67mph on a 70mph dual carriageway, a bit confusing at first but then his tax disc does say LGV and not PLG.
Scooby96 - it would be nice if the '200' meant bhp!

i just bought 7 new shape ford transit for the company i work for
if you look just below the door mirrors they say 75 & 90 & 115 & 125 or simular numbers that is the psi of the vehicle as we got the 125/350 my god they r quick for a transit van
the 350 i think is for the total weight of the vehicle hence 3.5 ton

on the old shape transits (85-99) it is the weight it can carry.so an 80 can carry 800kg,s .but this is including driver and fuel so probably more like 700.100,s carry 1000kg,s ,etc,etc.....
