A six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 5,900 cm³ drives a vehicle with an unladen weight of 6,400 kg and a gross weight of 7,090 kg. With an overall length of 10,500 mm and a wheelbase of 5,300 mm, the margin for additional load is only around 690 kg, pointing to a body that already makes heavy use of the available weight.
Such a long wheelbase on only two axles combined with a comparatively low payload is typical of travel and expedition vehicles, where the living quarters or equipment already take up a large share of the gross weight. For road use, such a chassis is geared towards long distances and varied terrain rather than high payload.
When buying such an expedition vehicle used, besides the condition of the engine and running gear, the frame matters most and should be checked for distortion and corrosion given the long wheelbase and off-road use. The body and fittings should also be checked for tightness and secure mounting, as they account for a significant share of the vehicle's weight. Door seals and window frames are worth a close look too, since long-term water ingress is a common issue on vehicles of this type.
