Just wondering if any other lwb sierra enthusiasts out there have noticed any weight differences between the maruti lwb body compared to the earlier suzuki lwb body ? Seems the 2 suzuki lwb bodies i have dealt with are alot lighter than the indian maruti models. Unsure weather this is due to different construction methods but the difference seems quite alot ? |

Just had one engineered and was a fair weight difference between existing rego papers and actual weight. Rego papers stated Tare as 1350 and GVM as 1370. Thats not much of a load/driver weight allowance. My weigh bridge weight was 1180 on 31's with G16b and AW4. I would doubt the weights on the rego papers more than a large difference in model weights

Im going purely of the amount of men it takes to lift the bare bodies. 2 men can easily lift a bare lwb body but its a huge difference when lifting the maruti body at least 100 or so kgs it would seem. |

Maybe extra weight of the maruti fiberglass roof and rear firewall? All the panels look to be stamped the same. Maybe a heavier steel was used by the indian factory. |

From what I can tell the maruti built shells are identical to the Suzuki shells, we have one of each and the steel gauge is the same as well, I have used panels off a donor swb to repair the maruti. Iirc the maruti weighed around 1110kg with a 1.6 8v and 31" tyres last time it was on a weigh bridge.
