While the Voyager and Edge models provide six berths at a 3500kg weight limit, the Kon Tiki 669 focuses on heavy-duty touring capability and tag-axle stability. It shares the 5000kg MTPLM with the Kon-Tiki 874 and 774, but offers a distinct rear island bed layout compared to their alternative configurations.
