Please note: CR35 models (excluding 88PS engine) have a 'design trailer weight (braked)' of 2,800kg; to increase the 'Gross Train Weight' to 6,300kg it is necessary to fit a towbar that is rated at 2,800kg and amend the vehicle's plating details accordingly. A range of rear axle ratios are available to enable the driveline to be matched to the optional requirements; please contact your nearest Van Centre for details.

Panel van roof load limit 300kg (low roof); 150kg (high roof).

VAT information
For double cab.
The VAT paid on vans can usually be recovered if the vehicle is purchased by a VAT registered business. However VAT incurred on the purchase of vans fitted with windows and/or seats to the rear of the driver cannot be recovered unless the vehicle payload exceeds 1,000kg. Otherwise VAT incurred on these vehicles is not available for recovery unless the vehicle is used for 100% business purposes. It is the customer’s responsibility to deal with the VAT correctly. Customers should always seek professional advice to establish their own personal tax position.
