The payloads of the new chassis are 2.95t (extended wheelbase, regular cab) and 2.77t (extended wheelbase, two-row cab); the latter seats seven persons. Both versions have space for transforming the back row into a sleeping place, while there is additional box-type storage under the seats for tools and other equipment.
