Yep, concur with JDNSW. Every time I see it come up, I feel like giving him a serve for Mis-Representing it as a Perentie.
From the upcoming book (shameless plug)-
"So, by definition, Perentie refers to only those 4x4 and 6x6 vehicles supplied to the ADF for Trials or fulfilment of the subsequent Contracts under Project Perentie.
A ‘True’ Perentie Land Rover will have;
· a galvanised Chassis that is widened at the rear to carry a spare tyre between the chassis rails and
· an Identity Plate (or evidence of its removal) on the Passenger seat base referring to “Truck, Variant, Lightweight, MC2. Some even include ‘Perentie’.
6x6 will read: “Truck, Cargo, Light, MC2. and
· a LRA Australian Compliance Plate stating “Land Rover Military 4x4 or 6X6” and
· all coil spring suspension on the 4x4 and coil front, load sharing leaf springs rear on the6x6 and
· of course, a 4BD1 Isuzu 4 cylinder power plant (with turbo in the 6x6)."
Gone fishing, The only mention I can lay my hand on states the Cargo may tow a trailer weighing 1500kg.
