which vehicle, isuzu grafter or transit tipper

[prolinep]

as titled really, Im looking at buying a new truck and was wondering what people on here think. Iv narrowed it down to isuzu grafter or the transit tipper as both i can get on a good price. just looking for peoples opinions and why really. would be big help to me as i haven't had a grafter only test drive.

 

Cheers for the help with this as i figured be to ask people who have been there had it ...

Never had a tranny, easily over loaded and have some expensive issues, starter motor, injection pump to name 2, have an nkr (old grafter) pros. Good view at front, doors open wide, amazing turning circle, pulls v well looks like a truck and not a van, great engine access, simple and well built etc. Cons. Harsh ride, not v comfy, a bit thirsty, v few mod cons, etc

 

Overall a good arb truck for a 3.5 tonner, been v reliable and would have another.

Grafter is also down plated 5tonner not legal to carry more over here but they handle it better.
