Our single cab LR130 tipper empty weighs 2200kg sitting on scales without me or a spare wheel on it, but full of fuel and the usual amount of useful junk stashed behind the seats. So with me and lunch box, getting 1200-1250 payload.

 

When I bought it 5years back couldn't find another 4x4 that came close to that, and the 7t gtw. If izuzu has 4x4 tipper with 1.4t payload, worth a look.

My hilux holds double than my original one with greedy boards and I have upgraded the springs to a 7 leaf, I paid around 12k for my truck and tipper conversion after 4 years it's still worth around 9-10k how many chip trucks hold there value like that [emoji6]

Those springs don't increase its "legal" payload by one ounce, in fact they reduce it as they weigh more than the originals.

Yeah I know it's an unofficial extra pay load, just means when I'm driving around full up the arse of the truck isn't on the deck

Yes, that's the tricky part. We looked for ages for one in the under £10k bracket, but couldn't find anything tidy. Ended up going to look at one that'd been advertised for £15k for a while, then dropped down a bit. Haggled more than I normally do and ended up getting it. Time I overhauled most of it and rebuilt tipper to suit, was right back to £15k plus time. Been reliable since, but is now time for some overhaul again to get another trouble free 5 years.

 

Keep looking for something half reliable looking, mate, worth taking the time I think.
