Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Engines: 4.25t/diesel, 156hp/610Nm, 177hp/675N m; 4.8t/diesel, 218hp/ 810N m; 6.37t/diesel, 238hp/850Nm Transmissions: 6spd manual, 9spd manual, 6spd automatic Chassis: 4x2, 4x4; 7,500-16,000kg GVVV Wheelbases: 3,020-5,360mm A smart restyle and subtle modifications, including a new engine, raised the Atego's status considerably. The updating also included a serious reshaping of the range, offering up plenty of variety.

Like the rest of the Benz family you can expect solid construction and proven mechanicals, unfortunately this is to the detriment of kerb weight compared to its rivals — GVWs range from 6.5-15t.

There's a decent cab included in the mix, which comes with plenty of variety allowing you to customise it. For instance there's a sleeper cab with medium or high roof and a day cab with optional extended rear wall.

These can be matched to four engines. with power ratings of 110hp and 130hp from the four-cylinder, while the six-cylinder is tuned to develop 170hp and 205hp.
