R20 is it a reduced payload to older version

[Tentpeg]

Hi Ant

The current I understand has a lower payload than its older version, something to do with Citroen not supplying the more heavy duty chassis. Can you tell me what year did this change and how you can check which is which when buying secondhand. Are all R20s a lower payload than the outlook?

thanks

Hi Roamingsue.
The 800 kg chassis and the 600kg chassis could have been available together around the end of 2009 while dealer stock was sold and new stock ordered in. Before early 09 the chassis would be 800kg and after 09 would be 600kg. If in doubt look at the log book where it will state the chassis wt and the engine power output ( 90bhp or 75bhp 90 being the 800kg chassis).
Thanks
Ant
