The civvy coil spring 6x6 GVM is certainly 4700 kg and the GTW (Gross Train Weight in UK or GCM in Oz) is 7500 kg. However the civvy narrow track/coil spring model is a different animal to the Perentie 6x6 so the civvy data doesn't necessarily apply.

Corrected your typo.
Yep. The point I'm making is you cannot apply the ratings for civilian Landrovers to Perenties.
I think the assumption "If the civilian Defender 4x4 ratings can be applied to a Perentie 4x4 and, because civilian Defenders are rated to tow way more than Perentie 4x4s, we can tow more than the military rating on the 6x6 Perentie because the civilian 6x6 110 must be rated way more", is totally false.
I have always been of the opinion Perenties cannot adopt the ratings of their civilian counterparts. It's just a bonus the Perentie 6x6 has higher ratings than it's civilian counterpart.
