It should say on the back/side/information plate/all over it.

110 T350 for example is 3.5T and 110bhp.

Ok but I assume I wouldn't be able to drive the T350 would I? because as soon as you put anything in it, it would be over 3.5? Is that right

No, 3.5 is the max - unladen weight will be ~2t

Gross payload for these things is usually on the same plate.

if the vehicle is 2 tonne, the gross payload is usually 1.5 tonne to bring it under the required 3.5 tonne limit.

On that note, is a LWB Transit over 3.5T?

 

[Fr0dders]

the LWB version still has the same gross vehicle mass of 3.5 Tonne

Gross payload on the LWD is less, its about 1.3 tonne. Its for bigger stuff, not necessarily heavier

Its the jumbo van that is available in higher than 3.5 tonne GVM. The biggest is 4.6 tonne

Again, it says on the plate.

There are so many variations of transit that its impossible to tell from that description.
