My Eurospec vanagon 1.6d back in germany had standard load capacity of
970kg, which is three percent shy of a ton. however, you can officically
uprate it with new springs and some little changes and have it checked out
at germanies many safety stations, that adds another about 200kg, that makes
it 1.2 ton.
