[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 8152810, member: 718"] No, the Grenadier has between 600 and 700Kg payload I believe. It weighs around 2.7 tons unladen. It used to be that LR Station wagons had to have 12 seats to be a commercial, regardless of payload. Hence they sold hardly any 9 or ten seat versions in the UK. I owned a 12 seater station wagon fairly early on in production. With the sliding front windows rather than wind down ones. It was one of the first with the new 2.5 Diesel engine with timing belt. Unfortunately, unlike the 110 Hi Cap I bought about a year later [with wind down windows], the station wagon was a reliability disaster. Nearly everything that could go wrong did go wrong. In three years it was on its third synchromesh rebuild and that was failing. It had several sets of Panhard rod bushes. It was out of track from new. Much else I forget but the bomb-surprise was a massive oil leak from the back of the crank at 30,000 miles where the seal had worn a groove in the crank bush. New crankshaft needed. Oh and in that 30,000 miles it was also on its third power steering box due to shaft leaks. No help fro LR outside warranty whatsoever and it was sold on its third birthday. If I knew it was to be so bad I would never have bought the HiCap pickup, but luckily that was quite reliable after its factory clutch failed at about two years of age, and it and the replacement [non genuine clutch] lasted for 22 years of really hard graft.
