Isuzu grafter

[Duncansimpson]

Anybody out there running a grafter? I'm thinking of gutting one and was Just wondering what they are like. Or possibly a canter or a cabstar? Any comments gratefully received

Yes we have two of them an 06 and a 63 plate. Quality trucks and better than anything else out there IMO due to towing capacity, pulling power, reliability etc etc. From what I understand they aren't the cheapest but I think they are worth it.

If you get the 150hp twin wheel wide can essentially it is a 5.0t down rated for the UK market and as such has bigger brakes and springs. Only downside I can think of is the servicing is dearer than others but worth as they are miles ahead of a transit. If you are the Duncan Simpson from plaxtol way then try mc truck and bus in aylesford

Small world Jay, I bet it was yours I saw on seal hollow road last week and I thought there goes a nice truck. Is it white and not sign written?

Yeah that's the one, Thursday I think it might have been as we were working in mount harry road and your guys were reducing some trees on the verge. Just needs to be sign written now! Would recommend MC truck and bus in aylesford or DT trucks in Essex. The wide cab as an extra is well worth it as it gives more space when 3 up and suits the arb body better. Truck will pull 3.5t and more than its payload with ease.

Just found one in Manchester, 28000 miles £12k same spec. I phoned the guys in aylesford and they promised a demo this week but they never got back to me.

That sounds good value to me. We have always from mc truck good always called back when they aid they would etc sorry didn't do the same for you. Businesses like that make me laugh they want you to use them as they are local and bitch and winge if you don't but then don't call people back when they are meant to; after all you were trying to give them money! One good thing they do do is overnight servicing of you can't take the truck off the road

There's a nice one on eBay at the moment for £9500

That's my Isuzu grafter advertised here and on eBay.

 

I rate the truck highly and reluctantly selling due to moving house and needing a 4x4.

 

The cab is quite generous in comparison to the earlier Isuzu's, it carries weight really well and doesn't look overloaded. The 3 litre engine is a bit of a beast and towing is no problem even when fully loaded.
