Jeep Nose weight

[Jamie_5040651]

I've just bought a '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee but didn't get an owners manual. Kerbweight and max tow weight are both printed on an info plate but the max nose weight is not given. Does anyone know what it is? Also, if anyone knows where I can get a manual, that would come in handy too!

Nose weight is 140kg max.

Jamie...noseweight should be calculated as 7% of the actual laden weight of the caravan or MTPLM so a 1000kg van would have a noseweight of 70kg.This sometimes exceeds the manufactures limit so aim for a noseweight close to the cars maximum limit but never beyond it.
