Truck selection guide
X6000 for long-haul transport: configuration selection
Read the X6000 4×2 long-distance tractor reference alongside a 6×4 medium/short-distance column to identify where the manufacturer's stated duty changes.
These are public manufacturer option columns, not individual vehicles, stock offers or confirmed combinations. An engine list, power range and wheelbase list in one column must not be combined into an invented specification.
Compare the published configuration columns
The selected columns expose relevant differences. Read the operating-duty notes below before treating any column as a candidate.
| Parameter | 4×2 · GCW 42 t Tractor | 6×4 · GCW 60 t Tractor |
|---|---|---|
| Drive type | 4×2 | 6×4 |
| Engine model | M13/WP13/WP13H | M13/WP13/WP13H |
| Engine power | 480/520/530/550/560 hp | 480/520/530/550/560 hp |
| Transmission options | AMT | AMT |
| Emission standard | EURO V | EURO V |
| Gross combination weight | 42 t | 60 t |
| Rear axle ratio | 2.533/2.643/2.846/3.364 | 3.083 |
| Wheelbase | 3800 mm | 3175+1400 mm |
| Fuel tank options | 980L+400L aluminum alloy | 760L+230L aluminum alloy |
| Brake system | Full disc brake | Full disc brake |
| Road conditions | Not listed in this column; confirm | Not listed in this column; confirm |
| Recommended use | Long-distance standard load logistics transportation | Medium and short-distance heavy-duty load highway transportation |
GVW and GCW identify the manufacturer's vehicle or combination weight columns. They are not payload figures, an allowable road load or a registration approval for your destination.
These columns do not establish a complete body specification, body volume or verified net payload. Confirm body dimensions, volume, installation weight and the resulting axle loads for the actual order.
Technical values retain the source wording and units. Slash-separated entries are options; hp and PS are not interchanged. A blank field does not mean a feature is absent.
What changes the selection
- Only the selected 4×2 column is labelled long-distance standard-load logistics. The 6×4 comparison is labelled medium and short-distance heavy-duty transport; it is not automatically a long-haul substitute.
- Both list 480/520/530/550/560 hp and AMT. The 4×2 lists 3800 mm and 980 L+400 L tanks; the 6×4 lists 3175+1400 mm and 760 L+230 L tanks.
Confirm before requesting a quotation
- Confirm route, trailer, load and the intended duty before deciding which manufacturer column applies.
- Request the exact engine, AMT, axle ratio and braking specification instead of selecting by peak power alone.
- Confirm fifth-wheel compatibility, final axle loading, fuel-tank installation and destination approval documents.
The quotation must identify the exact model, chosen options, body or trailer, destination and supporting compliance documents. Price, availability and delivery time require a separate confirmation.
