you can manipulate the gearing in any vehicle to tow anything at a low speed technically

I could be mistaken here, but I think that van utilizes a 2.4 liter diesel that Toyota used to put into buses.

[@kingduckford]

@@SwapBlogRU My 1958 F600 has a 292 CID gasoline motor, and it hauls around 26,000 pounds on axle without a complaint. What Sparky said was right, it comes down to gears and low speed. That Toyota motor is a good one, but without some serious gearing, it too will pull itself out.

@@TheUchihasparky Since it's the 4x4 version, it's probably got an extra low 1st gear. There are versions around with a low range transfer case too - 4XOverland has done a few videos recently on an off road Hiace he's converting to an overlander. Anyone who's driven a tractor knows that you don't even need 100 bhp to effortlessly move very heavy loads around at low speeds.

[@m.cigledy6769]

Just moving it around at low speed isn't that difficult. The towing limit on a vehicle is mostly how much weight it can control at normal driving speed. With a trailer that can handle the weight, the Toyota could probably move twice that much around a parking lot. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near it if it got on the highway, though.

Tires are rated to deal with potholes at high speed. The waving of metal strings keeps it together but not for long the heavier you go over the limit. Wheels are usually the weak point in real driving condition unless something punctures your tire as usual.

[@peglor]

The static load is the easy part, heat buildup in the tyre while it's rolling is the real tyre killer. Driving for a couple of hours at highway speed is where the load rating matters - very few real world users would be happy if all their tyres could manage was to survive a lap of the car park in 1st gear.

[@MegaSockenschuss]

It also depends on tire pressure as well.

That 4-wheel drive van though...

[@DjPsYcOtIc]

Love it, Cheers from England! I once put a Battery powered forklift on my trailer, the owner of the forklift said it weighed 4.5 ton, turns out it was almost 8 ton, Lets say even though it was a 4 wheel trailer it rolled all of the rims through the tires plus the ground and over a few miles all the air escaped plus the trailer was making some very very alarming noises, like pops and bangs and moans and groans! Once we got it to it's new location, all the tires was flat as a pancake and we bent the ramps like bananas trying to get it off. All this on 4 old Ford Granarda alloy wheels that was over 20 years old already, unfortunately only 1 survived to this day. Moral of the story, never believe any one when they say there forklift is lite! Keep up the good work and keep the video's coming, full respect from the North East of England.

I mean for experimenting is pretty hardcore to install 7+ tons on EACH wheel but driving would be insane. I have seen people who loaded up their cars with 2-3 tons of cargo but anything more would be insane and dangerous. I drive a 3.5 ton van at work and empty it's at 2600 kgs. If I load it with one ton of cargo I can already feel it driving more difficult and braking is a problem, especially if I descend a mountain. So overall WEIGHT is not everything. When you load your trailer or van with stuff don't think all about if tires can handle it, because clutch will take a beating and also your brakes!! Stay safe and love this channel

[@bigbraincontent]

How much weight to overload leaf springs?

[@bitkarek]

i think in case of real driving at normal speed there would be additional stress and resistance causing heat and it would fail after some time with much less weight.

[@kjuirteerdserty9618]

When breaking in strong curves the whole weight of the car may be on just one tire, so they can bear at least 1.5 tons. In addition when hitting bumps or potholes the weight is multiplied. This is calculated by engineers for safe driving. My opinion though..

[@dismayer666]

True. The rating means that the tire should operate at given weight indefinitely. So you can drive as long as you want at max speed that a tire is rated to. And as you said - drive on uneven terrain, curves etc. It's not just static load.

And that's not even accounting for unsprung weight and left-right weight ratio. The key takeaway is that, I can get A LOT FATTER and the tires will be fine.

[@7.3_alltheway]

Max load rating of a tire is at max air pressure. Tire is most likely rated for 44psi and that's when it can hold around 500 kg. If the pressure is at 20 psi then it should be basically only hold 250 kg per tire

[@SethMethCS]

Overload a fully stock Lada with minimum tread on tires, and drive until you can’t, then keep loading until the rim touches the ground, testing pressure like you did here. I always wanted to know how much you can load into a 4 door sedan.

[@randall4876]

Got thrown for a loop when the translation kept saying "Kilos" for what looked to me clearly like Bar. So a quick note, a kilogramforce/centimeter^2, is a deprecated SI measurement that is equivalent to 98-ish KPa, whereas a Bar is equal to 100KPa, so there's your factoid of the day. (1 bar is roughly 14.5 PSI for the Americans)

[@MadScientist267]

Yes all of the videos are like that and it drives me nuts

[@SwapBlogRU]

Technically you're correct. Kilos is sort of a colloquial term, and while it's not entirely accurate, it's "as near as makes no difference", as they say.

[@MadScientist267]

@@SwapBlogRU Yes it's a prefix and understanding the context is the only reason it still makes any sense when he says it. "Kilo" by itself tho usually refers to mass, but even bending that to pressure as we do here in the states with PSI ("pounds"), it still doesn't make sense. At 3 "kilos", that would be a mere ~6.6 psi, where 3 bar, and what is actually meant in the videos, almost 45 psi. Not exactly a trivial difference. Those of us that get it, get it, but imagine how confused someone without the insight would be when their tires are still flat while the ones in the video at the "same pressure" are wanting to pop. It is what it is but I'm glad someone besides me noticed it and said something.

[@SwapBlogRU]

@@MadScientist267 I feel like you might be slightly overcomplicating this. I'm pretty sure that "kilos" in the original video refers to "kg/cm2" (which the OP picked up on, with him mentioning "kilogramforce/centimeter^2"). If we were to express kg/cm2 in atmospheres (which is the measure we use for tire pressure here in Russia), then 1 kg/cm2 would equal 0,967841105354057 atm, or if we prefer bar, then it would be 0,980664999999998 bar. Again, close as pretty much makes no difference.

[@victorgeorgievroad]

The weight and the speed index do not show the maximum the tyre can achieve and then when you increase them by 1 it will blow up. No. This is the maximum rating for how fast under how much weight the tyre can work all the time without increased wear and decrease performance. So it's normal to take more than what is the rating, but the tyre will wear faster and might get damaged very quickly.

kg/cm² and bar seems like the same. usually bar is used except for the USA, Myanmar and Liberia that use PSI. well that's what I could find anyway.

They are very close. A bar is 10 newtons per square centimeter. In layman's terms, kgf/cm², bar and atmosphere are used interchangeably but they are slightly different. The first is 0.980665 bar and the latter is 1.01325 bars.

The tires have to be designed for the *dynamic loading it will encounter in operation through its speed range. Dynamically, hitting a pothole at 80mph is tremendously different than static loading.

[@rationalmaximiser2]

makes you wonder how much weight a truck tyre would take. I looked up a random truck tyre and it was rated for 3000kg per tyre. So if it had a safety factor of 10x like these passennger tyres, it might take 30 tonnes per tyre. On a 28 wheeler, that would be 840 tonne required! Imagine trying to put 840 tonne on a truck!

welcome to the world of engineering and technical design the wheels load rating is calculated with a safety factor of 5-10x the load rating, in some cases that safety factor can be as much as 20x and more depending on the specific application a wheel is, by it's nature, a part with dynamic loading, for dynamic loads you generally have a safety factor much higher than for static load then it's also a safety relevant component adding to that safety factor
