Swift Elite ownership advice
- Utilise the 230kg payload carefully by weighing heavy items like awnings separately.
- Regularly inspect the GRP body panels and timberless frame for any signs of external impact.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the 2.28m width when navigating narrow lanes or tight site entrances.
- Failing to update the Swift Command app, which manages remote vehicle functions.
Worth knowing: The 1650kg MTPLM is a fixed limit; exceeding this with the 230kg payload is a legal risk.
