Which would be the case if you first register a vehicle in the Netherlands. During the inspection to see if the vehicle complies to applicable road laws and regulations, they weigh the vehicle and this is recorded on the vehicle registration document.

I looked it up for the F60S with license plate AR-10-07 (on the left of the attached picture): it has a actual empty weight of 4870 kg (excluding passengers and load). According to the registration document, the maximum allowable weight is 5015 kg.

According to the specs Rob posted:
Curb weight of vehicle: 10,250 pounds = 4650 kg - a bit less than AR-10-07
Max allowable weight: 16000 pounds = 7257 kg - considerably more than AR-10-07, but it may have been downrated on paper.

I'd list an empty/unladen weight of 5000 kg, so if you need recovery they do not turn up with a vehicle which is too light to handle the recovery.

PS: you could always ask Andy Mitchell about his recovery experience in Normandy back in 2014...
