was by the brochure I have in front of me:
"two big blokes"....
whether these were British Standard "Big Blokes"
...which are now to be rightly called EN/ISO/BSS...Big Blokes"....who knows ?
..sat on, stood on shouldn't make any difference....but hazarding a guess that big bloke means > (greater than) say 15 stone....unless you are 30 stone you should be OK.
maybe this was a bit more thought out than the  poor jack supplied with every D3/D4....? BREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics

I'm 17 stone, SWMBO is 9 stone. My two dogs weight 3 stone between them. Total weight on our tailgate is therefore 29 stone (over 400lbs). We often sit there together at Point to Point or somesuch. Never broke one yet and we're on our third D3/D4

From the brochure:
"Make light work of difficult loads with Discovery 4’s two-piece, asymmetric tailgate design. Both upper and lower tailgates are made from resilient lightweight aluminium. In fact, the lower tailgate is so strong that, when the vehicle is parked, it can support the weight of two adults and be used as a viewing platform."
An average male is supposed to be 75kg, so 150kg.
(Although offshore UK males are recorded as averaging 95kg each! So take your pick.)

Need to brush-up on your animal recognition skills, Mike.

DG recognises this instantly. In fact, I'm pretty sure he's related to it.
