Reviews praised Jimny for much better on road performance, better residuals and more sophisticated 4x4 system

I would assume it's the same as the previous Gen4, 350kg unbraked, 1300kg braked and a 75kg towball nose weight. They have only removed the rear seats and classed it as a commercial vehicle to get around the EU emissions.

A horse is the most basic 4x4.

Although l love our Gen 4 Jimny, the Defender feels like it will still be passing its MOT in a hundred years time.

I know what you mean. Our Series 2 Land Rover has 2 fuses, a big one and a little one. I can leave it for months and it just works when I ask it to move. I believe this and cockroaches will be the only thing moving come the end of the world

I was am hoping that because it's a commercial variant that Suzuki have enabled payload offsetting. This is where the manufacturer only stipulate the gross train weight and gross vehicle weight on the registration documents which allows for the payload of the vehicle to be used by the trailer so an empty car will be able to tow a heavier trailer so long as the combination weight is not exceeded. So for example you can tow 1300kg with 4 passengers in the road version and that's it whereas with the van you can tow 1300kg with the van full or say 1500kg if the van is just a driver. If you see what I mean.

Unless the price is hidden in a PCP agreement where it's more about the monthly payments and you don't actually own the vehicle.
l called about one at £26,000 and the price soon fell to £23,000 after a little negotiation

Also worth noting that they're not going to be included in the nice 0% PCP from Suzuki as they're probably owned by the dealer.
