Anyone bothered with 4x4 double cab tipper?

[Richard 1234]

And your point is?i think I already said it won’t suit some..

It was a question! The point being if you want to think like that is 1/2 a tonne or so is not much and very easily overloaded. It’s all very well saying the truck pulls the weight fine but it’s not about making it move it’s making it stop that the issue.

I heard the 130 crew cab tipper chassis bend?

Also talking to a legendary hilux exporter today told me he had has over 40 navaras with bend or snapped chassissss'ss


Not very encouraging.

Really appreciate hearing from people experience. Ta

Navaras are known for the chassis problem  ...    Not heard of any Hilux's bending or snapping or any 130s  ?

Just heard from a landy obsessed pal that the crew cab landy 130 chassis it too long to handle a tipper?

Do you...Ok 

Now now, no need to get shirty, I'd tend to agree with him, this double cab has a load space of 2.5 cube and the single cab has a load space of 4 cube.

Personaly I don't really see the point in a double cab tipper but with some high sides (as pictured above)) and a load handler it's not a bad setup, not the greatest due to the diminished capacity but you can certainly get by with it

I reckon that one would be better off buying some ply, knocking up a temporary greedy board thingy and forking it out with a potato fork, or shovel. Takes 10 minutes to empty, then get a proper tipping truck when you’ve enough moolah.

Mine as we're all having a looksie.

Works great for me only having room for one truck, extra h duty springs takes the weight and goes anywhere, always wish I could get more chip in but weight would be an issue then

Chassis still solid after 5 years as a tipper, toes a gravelly pro chip or 16’ ifor trailer each working day and no chassis problems,
