Sunbar ◊ 2021-11-08 16:57	The wheelbase looks longer than I initially thought so likely to be 160" rather than the normal 141" which lowers the weight capacity to either 3½-Ton or 2½-Ton the only difference being the tyre size and as its an export market its possibly the heavier option here I guess. Claymore 3½-Ton FT27.
