The four-cylinder engine powers a vehicle with a 1,780 kg kerb weight, which allows 1,020 kg of payload at a gross vehicle weight of 2,800 kg. A 3,790 mm wheelbase with a width of 1,770 mm produces a narrow but long chassis. Six wheels instead of the usual four point to twin tyres on the rear axle, spreading the payload of just over a tonne across a larger contact area and so lowering the ground pressure per tyre.
Vehicles with twin rear tyres are typical of light commercial vehicles regularly loaded close to their gross vehicle weight, such as flatbed vehicles for construction or farming businesses. The extra wheels improve driving stability under full load, but also increase overall tyre wear, since all six tyres need regular replacement.
When buying a used vehicle with twin tyres, the condition of all six wheels should be checked individually, since uneven wear between the inner and outer rear tyres can point to a bent axle. The load bed itself also deserves close inspection for deformation and rust damage caused by persistently heavy loading.
