The register lists a six-cylinder engine with 12,700 cm³ displacement for this 2000 Classic XL. Against an unladen weight of 9,329 kg stands a gross weight of 23,587 kg, giving a payload of around 14,258 kg. The vehicle is 8,860 mm long and 2,550 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 7,240 mm; it runs on six wheels. Top speed is given as 90 km/h.
With a gross weight of over 23 tonnes, the Classic XL falls into EU vehicle class N3, the category of heavy goods vehicles above 12 tonnes; the stated 90 km/h matches the speed limit that applies to this class across the European Union. The long 7,240 mm wheelbase makes room for the extended cab and stable running on long-distance routes.
Buying a used Classic XL means checking the long, separately mounted fenders and bonnet, the extended cab's resistance to moisture ingress, and the condition of the clutch and brakes. Since the long hood is a distinctive, costly-to-repair feature, it is worth checking whether body parts for this specific cab are still available.
