Very unlikely that the dealers/sales-people know, and I see absolutely no reason why they would tell customers. It's not up to them how you drive the vehicle. If you buy a non-commercial version, does the salesman tell you the speed limit?

What would be interesting is what they would say if someone asked.

It will also be interesting to see if the car knows the speed limits, assuming that the commercial has the same technical gizmos as the non-commercial versions, such as ASL.

I had this conversation with my dealer and Land Rover Customer care. I had 2 110s the X car and the 300 commercial, both HSE. It was very easy to forget to do commercial speeds in the commercial. So I set the commercial to use ASL thinking it would default to commercial speeds. It didn't so I sent the commercial back to have the correct limits set into the ASL. This is not possible and not an option. This is where I got LRCC involved. Their reply was we wont adjust the commercial ASL to a commercial if you dont like our response call the ombudsman here is the number.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

With all due respect, it's down to you to know and respect the speed limits for your vehicle.

l've driven vans off and on for many years and it's not an excuse to "forget" that you are driving a Commercial Vehicle.

Modern vans are like cars to drive, one example being the VW Transporter.

You are missing the point a VW transporter is not a car and doesn't look like a car or feel like a car when you drive it, I know I have 2 of them.

I have also driven vans lots of them and still do in fact I have a fleet of about 10.

My concern was, at the time I had two identical vehicles from a driving perspective. Both 110s, Both HSE, I didn't want to 'forget' I was in the commercial so I paid to have the option for ASL. However the ASL in the commercial is set to car speeds. When I questioned the fact that it didn't work and I told them I was clearly miss sold Land Rover basically said tough . 130's have feeling's as well you know
