Generation and equipment description ↗

Frame construction
On a frame-based version, check the frame identification, condition and body mountings. A frame alone does not establish permitted loads or all-wheel-drive capability.
Double-wishbone front suspension
On a version with double-wishbone front suspension, identify the upper and lower arms by body code. A shared suspension layout does not guarantee parts compatibility between versions.
