Which new truck??

[SAM66S]

The time has come to start looking for a new tipper with decent towing capacity. Who has what? Good & bad points please!

What did you have before?

Transit crew cab 140

A good Transit is a hard act to follow ( just my worthless opinion), have you considered another one ?

Cabstar. Biggest payload, 3.5tonne towing ability, bullet proof. No master key available online unlike certain other makes! Been running them for 20 years or so now.

Ive got 2 09 transits on similar miles, 1 has been faultless the other has cost me a small fortune to keep going. The new shape ones have the worst pay load out of all 3.5ton tippers. Having said that the service ive had from ford has been second to none.

I don't fit in a cabstar, the dealer is only 5 minutes from me so would have been good. Took 1 for a test drive before Christmas & was disappointed with the lack of power.

I cant remember the thread Sam but we were banging on about something on here and this cropped up. If its payload your after the Renault master comes out on top .

We have an old one. Way better truck then our old transits and 3.5 Iveco's. IMO. But parts can be an issue.
