Of course a Synco will be heavier than a RWD T3, with its additional front subframe, 3 extra driveshafts, larger front hubs, viscous coupling and extra transmission components. But the cargo rating I think is the same, 1 tonne (2200lb)? There are car tires which will happily handle them too. Think of Rolls, Bentley or Maybach. For comparison, an LH100-series Toyota Hiace has a 1250kg load rating. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin, New Zealand Fossil preparator Mollusc, Toyota & VW van nut Temporarily in Calgary, AB, Canada <goose1047@gmail.com> |
