Does anyone know the weight of a 212Z with trailer?

Hi Jbetschart, do you have a single axel or tandem and is it steel or aluminum?

Let's see, the brochure says your 94' Z212's base weight is 2700lbs so lets say with the V8 your close to 2800lbs (1,270kilos) dry and the average Tandem (GWR:3500lbs) for your size Mariah I would say is probably around 1200lbs (544kilos) so the grand total is around 4000lbs (1,814kilos) dry. You can add in the weight of the oil, gas and any gear on-board.

If you're asking this for tow vehicle purposes, keep in mind that the general wisdom in tow vehicles is you don't want to exceed about 80% of the tow vehicle's towing capacity, for a safety margin.

Also understand that much of a tow vehicle's towing capacity is based on what it's brakes can stop, not what the vehicle can get rolling ;).
