Long wheelbase ?
7/8s of the tub/tray is hanging behind the back wheels (like all the rest), Looks like a great place to load up 1 ton.

I fail to see what that statement has to do with wheel base and overhang.

My point being... If it was actually given a longer wheelbase, where the back axle was moved say a foot (300mm) back, the tub (and therefore the load space) would be better balanced out over the centre of the rear wheels.
A bit like the US type 4 door pick ups.
