Doesn't add much weight at all. Because a lot of Ute parts are removed. Removed are all the aluminum rails on both sides and tailgate, sail plane and third taillight along with the tonneau cover and cross support braces. You lose even more if you take the rear window. Of course it does still weigh a little more but I don't think it was more than 100kg which equates to a passenger.

I had a dig and found a Yellow VZ in my collection.
