Iveco 35C16 Arb tipper

As the title, anyone running one of the newer ones? If so any feedback. Currently torn between this and the grafter, Iveco swings it with all the extras and the bigger cab but you don’t see many around compared to the grafter. Are they bomb proof or a bag of spanner’s? Looking for long term reliability.

I bought a new one in 2015, one of the first of the new shape, 145BHP. Very happy with it and if I had to replace it would have the same again, or a heavier duty one. C section chassis means none of the condensation induced rust you gets  with transits etc. Some people say IVECO = It vibrates and everything comes off. While this may be true for some minor trim items it does not apply to the mechanics. Just got back from a week's holiday in southern Italy and there are loads of 25+ year old ones on the roads. The Grafter may boast a good turning circle but the Daily is pretty good on that score, and much better than my previous LDV Convoy (please don't laugh, it was a reliable plodder). Needless to say helper springs are a must with a full chip box.
