Fiat Ducato Maxi/Cargo Wit – long version with body: 2.3-litre four-cylinder diesel, 1,110kg payload, 4,040mm wheelbase, 2,170mm width, model year 2018
The Fiat Ducato Maxi is the extended version of the Ducato chassis, designed for higher payloads, which Fiat offers for bodies needing particularly large load volume or weight. This entry describes such a chassis fitted with a body marked Cargo Wit. Bodies of this length and payload typically go to applications where maximising available load space matters most while still being driven on a category B licence.

The four-cylinder diesel engine has a displacement of 2,287cc. With a gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg and an unladen weight of 2,390kg, a payload of 1,110kg remains. A wheelbase of 4,040mm and a width of 2,170mm correspond to the long Maxi version.
With a payload of over a tonne at the 3.5-tonne limit, the Ducato Maxi ranks among the high-payload vehicles in its EU category N1, driven on a category B licence. A chassis with this payload margin allows heavier bodies or more cargo than the shorter Ducato variants, but equally demands attention to axle load distribution.
When buying used, besides the usual chassis points – timing belt, brakes, corrosion on the floor pan – the mounting of the body to the extended frame and the condition of the suspension matter most, as these are put under greater strain in the Maxi version than in shorter chassis. Spare parts for the widely used Ducato chassis are readily available, while parts for the special body are available only to a limited extent. It is also worth checking the condition of the floor panel beneath the body, as flex in the frame under a long wheelbase and full load shows up there first.
