Quote: "Setting up of vehicle> 3.> The weight of the vehicle less wheels and tires approx 13000lbs."

OK, so 13000lbs is certainly the upper weight range for a fully loaded F60L or F60S, and the truck is described as a 3 Ton SP Bofors, but WHY is the truck (in all the pics I've seen of the F60B, not just this pamphlet) fitted with 10.50-16 tires from an F30? Is that vehicle mass too much for the rating of 16" wheels and tires?

I don't see a spare, so are 10.50-16's selected because they are Runflats? 4 of those is going to add almost another 1000lbs.
