Man trucks

[dig-dug-dan]

Sitting here contemplating the future of what truck to get when the current ones lease expires. Always had double cab cabstar, but as they are no longer made, i need an alternative. For me, it comes down to either the iveco, or man. Hear lots about iveco, but not so much about man. The latter has an extensive list of extras which look tempting, but how reliable are they?

Can't help much other than all of the military trucks I see on the M/A27 are MAN so must be reliable .

Hino are Japanese Loved in Ireland good work horses go right up to the maximum sizes.

MAN are good engines are tough used to make U boat engines!

Iveco wasn't bad Engines are pretty good many used in boats smaller ones like revs

One thing which is often an Italian thing? is Electrics not delved inside one for while but might have learnt something from there tie up with fords?

Iveco cabs are good. MAN similar and reliable, see if Utility company selling off, as they should have good service history.  K
