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 ...

I have had both.. the transits are a big van the grafter is a small truck.. imo

What he said! We have a 63 plate grafter wide cab which is essentially a 5 ton truck down rated. IMO there is no comparison between the isuzu and a transit, we have both and the isuzu wins hands down. It has a better clutch and box, is better geared for towing, has a larger towing capacity (3.5 ton) and I feel is more suited to tree work. Essentially a transit is a van and an isuzu is a truck.

 

Not sure what the current deals are but we paid less for our isuzu than we got quoted for a tranny. Try mc truck and bus, always had good service from them. I've put a few picks on other threads of the truck if you search for it

would rather have a wheel barrow rather than a transit! since 2000 they have been nothing but crap

A lot of good reviews out for the new transit which came out this year.
