Suzuki have the wheelbase at 93.5". The trays are usually 6'x5', but they do vary a little.

I've made my new tray at 1300x1650 to cut down on the overhangs.

The tray on my 95 maruti is 1550x1500. Most of the later maruti's are O'Briens trailer body branded trays in this size.
The earlier marutis are slightly longer.

I was gonna say that all Marutis have a shorter tray than jap sierras. Usually because the "cut" is much further cack on the maruti cab than where the rear wall finishes on the cab chassis jap utes.

Yep thats it. You trade off a shorter tray length for more leg room in the cabin.
Of course you could sacrifice the departure angle if you needed a larger tray, but it would limit your offroad ability greatly.

As it is with a 5'x5' tray, I still have more rear overhang that I would like.
