what tipper and why??? buying advice

[egs]

hello,

on the look out for tipper. have always been persuaded by the ford transit. have since looked at the LDV's as they look really cheap. any one have any advice on any tippers to get.

 

what it will be used for.

i am 18 yrs of age and it will be like my main mode of transport. so something economical and double cab for ladies in the back would be good. normally working residential. also something that can pull a 3.7 ifor williams trailler.

 

cheers for any advice in advance

is that a 3.7tonnes trailer? or a 3.7metre trailer? if its the first then trannys would die within minutes and LDV's within seconds..

You wont get a lady in the back of a tipper, double cab or otherwise.

And you wont be able to tow a big trailer on your licence anyway.

sorry 3.7 meters sorry. prevously had a 350 transit 125 bhp. which pulled no bother. dont no whether a 90 bhp transit would cope ?

90 Transits can barely pull themselves, let alone a trailer.

have to be gentle with the clutch then, no riding the clutch reversing etc, might struggle a bit but should be ok:thumbup1:
