The ZR2 is not made to carry a lot and it weighs between 4,700-5,000 lbs depending on the engine. The diesel engine will put it closer to 5,000 lbs just like the Wildtrack. Unlike Australia, we have other bigger pick up trucks for that purpose of carrying heavier loads and this is mainly a niche vehicle or secondary vehicle. Also, as I said earlier our regulations limit class 1 vehicles to 6,000 GVWR so even if that MB was sold in the US, it would not have nearly that amount of payload rating. Take the Wildtrack you just stated, since it weighs 4,960 lbs like you stated, and it's max allowable GVWR for the class it is in is 6,000 lbs, then its payload would be (6,000-4,960) 1,040 lbs here no matter what it is rated at in Australia.
