The 4x2 Cargo 1723 has a 16,800kg (37,038lb) GVW, while the 6x2 version is rated at 23,000kg (50,706lb).The Cargo 1723 features a robust low-maintenance rear suspension from HBZ Suspension Systems.The Cargo 1119 is now the only medium truck with a gross weight of 11 tons (24,251lb) for refuse operations.
