Compared to the Swift Escape 674, it offers a much higher MTPLM of 4250kg versus 3500kg, providing significantly more payload but requiring a different licence category. While the Auto-Trail Apache shares the 4250kg weight limit, the Kon Tiki 679 is longer at 7.6m. It serves as a heavy-duty alternative to the Bailey Autograph, which has a lower 3850kg MTPLM.

Swift Kon Tiki 679 Ownership Advice
- Utilise the 750kg payload to distribute weight evenly across the 7.6m chassis for better stability.
- Plan routes in advance to avoid narrow lanes that may not accommodate the 2.35m width.
- Test the dinette conversion and fixed bed mechanisms to ensure they suit your daily routine.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming a standard car licence is sufficient; the 4250kg weight exceeds the 3500kg limit for B category licences.
- Underestimating the 2.9m height when approaching low bridges or fuel station canopies.
Worth knowing: Always verify the specific MTPLM on the vehicle plate before loading to the 750kg limit.
