Are the man 3.5t tippers not just rebranded crafters?

They may well be, but seem to offer more extras

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

Well, it will be about three years time, so should be lost about, although I have always brought new.

If they are the same as crafters I drove a friends one, was really nice to drive and pulled really well. Just carried weight really really badly. No matter how little weight you had in it it always looked overloaded.

I think reinforced suspension is an option which may help

There is the Mitzi Fuso and Toyota.

What sort of weight/size you looking at?

 

Think in a few years it will have all changed? Probably pedal it and electric!

It will need to be nearest equivalent to my double cab cabstar. From what I have researched, the fuse is a non starter , you cannot remove the rear seats, you cant have sat nav,  rear view camera,and when I enquired, bluetooth wasnt even an option!

Toyota too small, and no double cab option
