03 rodeo trayback

[the_fatman]

Am considering a 03 dual cab rodeo trayback for my courier owner driver business and was wondering how much they can take in the back?
I am just playing with ideas as i want a courier business as well as a weekend tourer, Anyone got any ideas? :) cheers in advance

If yours is an R9 TFS series and not the RA then I know they have a 1270kg payload. That includes passengers and fuel.
If you intend loading it to the max get a load carrying suspension kit for the rear.
Does yours have the 4 leaf or 6 leaf spring pack?
Mine had the heavy duty "Holden" 6 leaf pack which were a good all rounder and good quality but fully loaded they just didnt cut the mustard so I put in a 2" Tough Dog heavy duty kit which did the trick. A little rough unloaded but very stable fully loaded. Even flexes well too.

cheers, sudso

If you need to increase payload to 2 - 2.5 tonne have a look at PONI Systems - GWELO Transport Solutions (http://www.ponisystems.com) - you can considerably increase your Rodeos versatility for around $15000.00 - I will go this way when finance allows.
