The entry level Loadbeta Pick-up 2.0i includes a normally aspirated diesel engine, five-speed gearbox and 1000kg payload. For those seeking the same load performance but with extra security, TATA also offers the Loadbeta Hardtop option, which comes equipped with a locking Truckman Top above the load bed. The Loadbeta Pick-up 2.0TDi has a turbocharged two-litre engine boasting 90PS and copious amounts of torque. Payload is increased to 1,140kg. Topping the pick-up range is the four-wheel drive Loadbeta Pick-up 2.0TDi 4x4, boasting similar 2.0TDi power and a simple to use all-wheel drive system. In normal road driving, the vehicle operates in two-wheel drive, thanks to the fitment of free-wheeling front hubs. Four-wheel drive is activated by a dashboard-mounted thumbwheel switch. Four-wheel drive low range is selected with the vehicle stationary by turning the same switch.
The Loadbeta Chassis Cab is the basis for Dropside and Tipper versions. TATA introduced the Loadbeta Double Cab 2.0TDi for those seeking a vehicle with more accommodation than a conventional pick-up. It has four-doors, seating for up to five people and a comprehensive standard specification.
The Loadbeta Double Cab 2.0TDi 4x4 boasts an 1000kg payload capability while the Loadbeta Double Cab 2.0TDi 4x2 has the highest payload figure of any new 4x2 Double Cab model in the UK at 1,080kg.
