2 Answers
The Dongfeng Xiaokang C31 has a rated load capacity of 1.245 tons. The Dongfeng Xiaokang C31 is a vehicle produced by Dongfeng Xiaokang. It is a practical micro-truck model that combines strong carrying capacity and excellent power, with "big power, big load" being the tailored promotional slogan for it. Here are some details about the Dongfeng Xiaokang C31: 1. In terms of body dimensions: its overall length, width, and height are 4730mm, 1655mm, and 1960mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3050mm. 2. In terms of power: the Dongfeng Xiaokang C31 is equipped with two types of engines—a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine (model "DK12-05") and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine (model "DK15-06"). The 1.5L engine delivers a maximum power of 86 kW and a maximum torque of 147.5 N·m.
This van has been used by my relative for building materials wholesale for three years, so I'm very familiar with hauling goods. The Dongfeng Xiaokang C31 has a cargo box size of 2.6 meters and uses five reinforced leaf springs on the rear axle, with a designed load capacity of about 1 ton. However, the actual load depends on the type of goods—heavy items like ceramic tiles can only be loaded up to 800 kg, while lightweight items like foam boxes can fill the cargo compartment with just over half a ton. The key is to watch the tires—the factory-fitted 165R14LT load-rated tires have a maximum capacity of 650 kg per tire, and overloading can easily cause blowouts. I've seen someone force-load 1.5 tons, and the rear axle deformed in less than six months, with repair costs nearly half the price of a new van.
