L200 Tipper, good idea or not?

[gensetsteve]

Ranger tippers carry 950kg

 

They get the extra load by fitting a very flimsy tipper. The ranger does seem to suffer alot of faults especially gear selection when hot.

I drive the Hilux had the twin cab and the single cab and done everything i have asked it to do. The only problem i have had is that when there is no weight in the back the rear tends to wonder?? (Going too fast)

 

All in all they are good

Thats incorrect its the same body as a new transit just smaller,the sides, steel floor and under frame are strong and the ram is more than adequate, also I've drove my Ranger all around Central London loads of times towing a big 4 gun compressor, I drove it to Scotland and back, and not once have I had gearbox problems, have you owned/used a Ranger for any amount of time?

My preference is for the hilux yours for the ranger. I fell out with ford over a new transit many years ago and vowed never to return and I wont. My mate two doors down has a ranger double cab 55 plate and wont be buying another. I think he was unlucky and got a friday afternoon job like I did. Glad your happy with yours.

Nissan np300 4x4 pickup was or still is available from new with tipper

Seems Mitsy just chop the regular bed off and replace it with a steel tipping body without uprating the suspension?!

 

Why would they need to uprate the suspension - it's still going to gross the same whether it's a tipper or still on a standard body

Tell him to get a Disco 3 Stevie and get busy with the stihl saw and welder!:thumbup:

 

I'd love to see a D3 tipper!
