I rarely see commercial 4x4 tipper/pickups around. I had 2 at Barrowcliff's but just about everything else I see is a van! Keep an eye on Brightwell's web site as they auction off the EA trucks and they have some smart trucks. Don't forget though, your payload will be pants!

I run a 3.5t 110 tipper which is great, but as Pete says the payload isnt the best because they are heavy to begin with.

 

In hindsight i would go for a 130 because they give you more payload as you dont overload the rear axle as easy as you do on a 110. I can comfortably work with mine as a 2 man team with a TW125 on an average days work, but usually have to go and get rid of chip and then return for the wood.

 

I would consider a 4x4 sprinter, but they are also pricey!

 

Best 4x4xfar a Land Rover.

How about an RB44?

 

 

 

BIG and old and uncomfortable...

 

And crap. the only really good thing is the perkins engine. Had several of those dodge 50 based trucks, and the build quality, esp on the brakes and bodywork, is atrocious.
