[RFC] M-35 Mako
 
#8
Vehicle looks good, though I'm not a vehicle expert.

If I was using it I'd want to know about its life support capabilities, whether it had waste recycling as standard, and what it comes as standard in term of things like headlights or spotlights, communications systems, navigation systems, etc. Emergency beacon? I'd also want to know if there was an airlock, an (emergency) atmosphere retention force field, protection from micro meteorites - basically anything you'd ask about a spacecraft, as it might be used on airless surfaces.

It certainly doesn't look like a cargo hauler, and you might want to compare it to something like a Land Rover, in terms of external cargo carrying capability. I'm guessing that "four persons and some equipment" might be something like 150-250kg total per person, so 600-1000kg. Maybe carry an additional 500kg if properly held in external racks/carrying cases?

Could there be a companion (say, four-wheel) trailer?

Or, is that going into too much detail?
Edit: As a general-purpose vehicle, I'd doubt it could take Venus surface.
