been offerd a 3ltr 156hp 1, of these ,& wondering if you chaps have any feedback on them ,i think ther fwd, what are fwd trucks like for towing
fwd,front wheel drive
cheers johnny

I've been wondering about other trucks mate we need a new one in a few month we have a transit 90 I fancy a 115 or better was gonna ask you about the iveco?

dailys are very good for carrying & towing ,prob is thers not a lot of big engined 1,s around ,chaning mine this yr may have to buy a box van to get the 3ltr ,150hp engine ,then convert to tipper ,

I've been unsure what to get ours is tired now she's got a huge steel back on and I reckon we forget how well they do I was thinking of 7.5 toner but you got all the checks and that. I drove a transit 115 with a timberwolf 190 and chip on and it was canny impressive like. I think thats what wel get but was wondering about a crewcab but heard you lose a lot of space have you tried crewcabs mate?

go check a daily out ,even hire 1, even if its a box van put 2t in the back & see go ,borrow 2t of sand ,hire 1, wi the 3ltr engine

Are the 3lt still on normal license?

yes, daily now run from 3.5t up to 7.5t ,the 6.5t give a payload of 3t,so 7.5t should be 3.5t to 4t

Sounds good mate I missed out on the proper lisence so stuck with the 3.5 for now they do well to be fair don't think they were designed for the grief we give them haha

my dailys done over 10yrs in arb ,towing from 750kg chipper,to 1750kg tracked chipper & plant trailer ,says it i think ,which equites to running @ 6t & 7t

Obviously don't don't put much chip on though mate cos you would be overloaded haha
