Which Van?

[WesD]

Mitsubishi Canter, Toyota Dyna, Nissan cab star or Isuzu Grafter?

 

Any problems or common faults to look out for?

 

Time is getting near to have a change, currently in an 03 warrior and looking for something bigger now, I'll be buying second hand.

Is cab space an issue?

[WesD]

Not really so long as I can get a child seat in as and when.

I know the Isuzu has a really small cab, but they might do a wider version, not sure. Nice truck though. A friend had a canter and had nothing but trouble with it and they never could find the problem. Big fan of Nissans on the whole. No experience with the toyota but I believe they have a poxy little cab aswell

Thanks Steve! I'll write the canter off.

Thats intersesting about the canter. I did consider it, briefly. The double cab version, till I discovered you could not remove the rear seats, or have sat nav!

got the cabstar. Been great so far, cab is plenty big enough. Takes a child seat ok!

The nissan comes with a diff lock option which I liked the idea of when I was in the market a few years ago

I don't like the seating position of the Nissan cab star, I do like the Mitsubishi canter. I've heard good things about the Isuzu.

If I was getting one, I'd look for a Mitsubishi.

I believe the flat fronts look more professional and have a good turning circle, but are more expensive than normal vans to repair.

Trouble is with my budget those on eBay are battered old builders trucks
