If so then that's a serious missed opportunity.

Yes there should be a SZ4 option or indeed even an SZ3 (Some countries have a low spec model with things like basic lighting and wind up windows etc). This would keep the customers who throw dead sheep carcasses in the back happy.

However look at the Ford Ranger market. Yes there are poverty spec Rangers around for hauling rubble off to be illegally fly-tipped, but there are top of the range ones with all the bells and whistles for posing in or taking Jet-Ski's to the coast as part of the Birmingham Navy etc.

I think there should be a top spec version for posing, dog walking, shopping and DIY visits (or even off-roading)

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.

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.

I see where you are coming from, as a caravaner, you always want the car to be heavier than the caravan , otherwise the caravan will start to dictate the direction of the car.

I suspect my usage may be a little more agricultural

thanks. That trailer is far too big for Dreadnaught, it weighs 1100kg empty it just gets shunted about off road. But its a good picture Dreadnaught has a single deck version that is just under 1300kg full of sheep and whilst you're definitely aware it's there it tows great.
