Which new truck??

[SAM66S]

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

 

 

Availability you mean? Is that because of the age of yours?

I'm thinking seriously about taking my licence to drive upto 7.5ton then something like the iveco 5.5 ton trucks would be perfect

Something like this. 6.5ton 180bhp

To be honest it hasn't needed much in the three years we have had it but there was one occasion where it needed a relatively minor part for the exhaust and there was a considerable delay, over a week IIRC.. If it is your only work truck this would cause a head ache. The iveco's can nearly always get parts next day..

I highly rate our 6 ton Iveco (we have had one for 6 years).. Not so much the 3.5 ton ones (we have a crew cab and single cab).

I quite like the look of a new Renault Master. Good on fuel. Front or rear wheel drive.

hi, yes i have a new grafter. its the twin wheeled narrow cab version. Bought it from Harvey in Cornwall and they built the chip box and tool lockers. Very good truck with the only issue being a somewhat bumpy ride over uneven roads but this is a minor point. I beleive they are rated at 4.5t abroad so carry the load very well at 3.5t. I have run transits before and currently have two canters and i would go grafter again. Hope that helps.

I second that we have got a new grafter 150 it uses £20 of ad blue every 4 months, pulls like a train bumpy as hell, a few minor issues but nothing major.

I love a transit, thousands gypsys can't be wrong, but it won't tow 3.5tonne so your A nut dodgy towing a massive twin wheel caravan. Depending Up on how you interpret the weights rules
