Ever come across Comanche Laredo 4x4 1 TON Pickup from early 1990's
Built by or converted by Jeep Venezuela.
50 Comanche vehicles modified into 4 seaters by Jeep wholly owned subsidiary Rustiaco Ltd. Is 50 the total number made, do you see many in US?

In South America, Jeep competed with Toyota trucks and had to upgrade the axles. XJ's often had Dana 44 front axles and (Wikipedia says) there was a heavy duty "Big Ton" package (known as the "Metric Ton" package outside the U.S.) for the long-bed models. The package included heavier-duty leaf springs and wheels, larger tires and upgraded the rear axle to a Dana 44, which increased the stock payload (cargo) capacity from 1,400 to 2,205 pounds (635 to 1,000 kg), well above that of any other mid-size truck. The Big or Metric Ton Comanche's payload rating was higher than that of many full-size pickups. I have never seen one that was 4 doors, unless somebody did a custom build.
