Early 90s & 110s were comparable, little bit but not much heavier. Gained around 250 to 290 kilos with the newer suspension now having more components & heavier ones too, then the steering added weight esp as many had PAS factory fitted, heavier transmission as old 4 speed series box junked for 5 speed one, transfer box added a little too, hell, even the new fangled door cards added some extra weight.
Just to clarify, they were the pre 1990 90s & 110s running similar tyre sizes to the series.
88 = 1350kg
109 = 1500kg
90 = 1610kg
110 = 1730kg
Later vehicles increased in weight again with PAS as standard, and every optional extra adding more and more weight, A/C stereo, sound proofing & carpets/matting, better seats and bigger tyres all increase the kerb weight of your vehicle.
Bare bones stripped out with no creature comforts drops your kerb weight.
Why the curiosity if you don't mind my asking?
Think of the shock when the old fella brought a brand new sj410 home.Hi dieseldog. Thanks for the reply. Was just curious as I used to have a series 3 many years ago and used to laugh at the heavyweight Toymotors sinking in the mud while my old girl only went down a few inches. Was surprised at the weight gain when I bought my Defer and looked up the stats to see how much I could carry. So much is familiar to the old series it was a bit of a shock to learn I was in Cruiser territory.
Hahahaha. Remember those. A mate had one of the first in Australia. If we got stuck anywhere we could lift the back up and walk it round to face the opposite direction.Think of the shock when the old fella brought a brand new sj410 home.
After the 2a I was driving at the time it was like flying. I can’t remember anything giving it much of a problem not least soft ground.
Even the green lane reviews at the time would give blow by blow accounts of each vehicle but only add a footnote at the end saying the Suzuki performed as normal.
