Okay, I can explain what I know about genuine OneTon Land Rovers.

Firstly, they had extended shackles, long bumpstops, and an extra heavy duty chassis.  Secondly, the usually had the 2.6 Litre 6-cylinder Petrol engine.  They also had a lower ratio transferbox.  Max speed is about 50-60mph flat out in top gear because of the lower gearing.

The leaf springs were also heavier duty types I think too.  The OneTons also had Forward Control size rims and tyres fitted, which were the 9.00 size.


The military 109-inch vehicles were not all fitted with extended shackles and longer bumpstops, and they are not OneTons at all.  They have the standard engines, standard transmission and other parts.

More information can be given if required, but that is pretty much the majority of it all there.  I know someone in the Series 2 Owners Club who has the oldest surviving known OneTon Land Rover to still exist and be road worthy.  This is his current website.

All I knew them as with the series 3s when I was in the army the 109s were 3/4 tonners or long wheelbase, 88s and lightweight 1/2 tonners or short wheelbase, and the 1 tonners were the forward control vehicles

Know a bit more now, but still think of a  1 tonner as a forward control though, the weight figures they say, were actually supposed to be the load capacity of them, same as the sankeys were 3/4 ton trailers

TUFFTEE:
i concurr with Hobbit! as that was how i recognised them as well! :wink:  :)
