Bedford RL 1969 GB
en.wikipedia.org
The Bedford RL was the British Military's main medium lorry (truck), built by Bedford Vehicles, from the mid-1950s until the late 1960s. They superseded the Bedford OY.
The Bedford RL was based on on the Bedford SCL, a civilian 7-ton truck. The military version had all wheel drive and bigger wheels to increase ground clearance.
The RL was powered by a 4.9 litres (299.0 cu in) petrol engine producing 110 brake horsepower (82 kW; 112 PS), although some were fitted with diesel engines.
The automobile was produced with a long or short wheelbase. There was the Bedford RL, where L pointed to a long wheelbase of 3.96 m, and the Bedford RS, where S indicated a wheelbase of 3.35 m.
The fuel tank had the capacity of 118 L, which gave the car the fuel distance of 400 km.
The cross country payload weight was originally rated at 3 tons, but in 1968 it was re-rated at 4 tons without any mechanical modifications.
The last RL rolled off the production line in the early 1970s, and all together a total of 74,000 being produced.
