Suelzer LT40/4X4: light lorry in EU class N2 with a six-cylinder engine, 2,355 cc displacement, four-wheel drive, four wheels and a gross vehicle weight of 4,000 kg, built in 1982
The register holds no other series from the manufacturer Suelzer, so this text describes the vehicle class the LT40/4X4 of 1982 represents: a light chassis with four-wheel drive, of the kind built for off-road duty just above the van boundary.

The LT40/4X4 is driven by a six-cylinder engine of 2,355 cc displacement and stands on four wheels, with a wheelbase of 2,880 mm, a length of 5,500 mm and a width of 2,100 mm. The vehicle weighs 2,910 kg empty, with a gross vehicle weight of 4,000 kg.
At a gross vehicle weight of 4,000 kg the LT40/4X4 falls into EU class N2 between 3.5 and 12 t, just above the limit up to which a category B licence still applies in Europe. The 4X4 designation in the model name points to permanent or switchable four-wheel drive, and the wheelbase of 2,880 mm, short in relation to the vehicle's length, improves manoeuvrability off-road. Kerb weight and gross weight differ by 1,090 kg of payload margin.
Buying such a light four-wheel-drive vehicle second-hand, the transfer cases and driveshafts should be checked for play and leaks, since four-wheel-drive components have more wearing parts than a simple drivetrain. The six-cylinder engine with its 2.4-litre displacement calls for a check of the cooling system and head gasket, and given the 1982 build year, frame corrosion and the condition of the axle differentials deserve a look as well.
