Rapido 854F length question

[Swamp]

Hi there,
We’ve had a Rapido 854f on order for a while now and when we placed our order back in June last year Rapido’s brochure listed it as 6.7m long.
Looking at Rapido’s brochure for the 2024 model, it’s now listed as 6.99m
It’s not a big issue but something of a puzzle. Does anyone know why it should have gained almost a foot in length?

Are you driving it as a 3.5 t vehicle or heavier? If 3.5 the increased size wouldn't help payload

Not unusual for manufacturers to change specs year to year on a model.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for coming back to me. It’ll be plated to 3650Kgs but I wasn’t really looking at the extra space it was the length change that puzzled me.

Hi Lenny,
Thanks for coming back to me. I know what you mean about spec changes but to add a foot to the length seems like quite a fundamental change!

Always possibility of a typo, why not email them.

Don’t think it’s a typo. All the 2024 Rapido brochures and technical docs which, in 2023 showed 6.7m now show 6.99m.
