Iveco crew cab 3.5

[Lancstree]

We've got one. The lowest part is the diesel tank so watch out for that. The clutch seems to wear out pretty fast too

Agree easy to over load been back to the yard with the hitch not far off the ground oops!

 

Just been to devon in mine 7 up loads of room beat my 130 hands down but hates even the slightest damp grass..

 

That not to much of a prob as have 4x4 that will get me out of grass prob's.

 

Is it that the front end sinks or it just little light on the back?

[toprotter]

Rear gets no traction , front can cut in and sink but at the mo im enjoying driving on grass.

Got caught out a couple of times when first used her .

Horses for courses , my 130 went anywhere except on the road with a load...!

If you have your 4x4 nr by you will be laughing ..but if you do get stuck you know it will be a late on a friday and your 4x4 will be at home!!!

I've had a 35c14 on a 05 plate for just under 6 months... The power is just brilliant, feels like a proper truck. Does drink the juice though, perhaps a bit of remapping wouldn't go amiss, and maybe some of those BFG (?)tyres that everyone goes on about for the rear.

It’s worth noting that the geometry of crew cab vehicles can put the load a lot further back on the chassis so the overloading issue can be quite acute.

 

A relatively small load improperly distributed can get you into an axle overload particularly when you add the nose weight of a chipper.

I Think Theocus is selling one but not sure if its a crew cab, may be worth a PM

Good trucks on the road.

 

Loads of seats.

 

Fuel tank is VERY low.

 

Very easy to overload.

 

Very easy to get stuck (like on moss, leaves etc)

 

I like 'em.

Just looking at getting one of these got the transit crewcab and it carrys ok.

 

are the ivecos reliable do they have a dmf

 

are they expensive to insure

 

are parts hard to get and or expensive

 

How do they really compare to transits for build quality engine reliability

 

really interested as looking at an 2006/7 with 50000 miles on it.

Amazing trucks, I continue to exceed the recomended carrying capicity in mine. I am not selling mine now due to it being very good. Basically the damn thing won't die allowing me to justify a new one!!! They pull well and service well, what more can you want!!!
