There are a lot of these in Europe (no kidding eh!) and most have the MAN
badge on the front of them with word / logo VW nowhere to be seen.  You
can't give the older (pre 1990s) away in Germany!  I have seen quite a few
on my previous trip, most suffering from a dead engine and / or
transmission.  I've been looking at these vehicles quite seriously for the
"a VW that can tow something" value - well - 2500kg is the max that they
will haul according to T�V, same as my Syncro... looks like I won't be
getting any of these oversized monsters any time soon... perhaps a Unimog
416 or U1300 though!

I've also noticed a resemblance between the LT cabs and the Kenworth light-
duty trucks: cube vans and delivery's and such. Same full-width grill and
corner lights lower. At one time I thought I'd heard they were VW-built, but
I
could never confirm or deny.
