i dont no y i just dont like american trucks that much!!!!!!

and the power is in conpairable because the ram has a engine twice the size!

 

 

Food for thought, my '98 Cummins is a 3500hd with single rear wheels. With the insert dump & the origional factory bed (next time i might be rid of the factory bed) quad cab, all my rigging and climbing gear behind the seats, weighs 3600 kg. The factory says I'm good to 5200kg. I havn't weighed her with wood, but fully loaded with chips (Bandit 65 small and highly compacted chip) she weighs 4900kg.

 

1300kg of detritus is pretty good for not needing any extra licencing.

Food for thought maybe, But I take it you don't run this vehicle in the UK? If you did you would need Cat C1 on your driving licence, you would also need to hold an Operators Licence and have a Tachograph fitted as the vehicles Gross Vehicle weight is over 3500kg.

The quickest way to blow a nice few quid is to buy a yank truck over here, they loose money hand over fist, I had a 90 Defender TD5, they ain't my cup of tea, once you've had Jap motors theres no going back..

 

I wish we could get commercial Toyota Landcruisers over here!

 

What I dont like with the Jap motors are the pokey little beds. Unless you get the 2 seater, you may as well have an estate car for what little room there is.

 

Biggest worry for me driving an American is the replacement of Major parts, about a week to ship over. Thankfully, so far, I haven't needed any.

I was aware that commercial licensing came in lighter in the UK, but wasn't aware it was that light! :eek:

 

Presumably if investment into all the commercial rigamerole was required, higher performance units are available as far as payload is concerned.

 

Here it is nice, very productive and under the CVOR (commercial vehicle operators registry) radar. As well driveable with a 'G' (small cars, trucks, vans etc) license.

 

I wish I could get your small pickups in diesel over here. It would make for a nice quoting vehicle.

Here's some Japanese and some North American for ya. Honda Ridgeline. 99 Chevy 1 ton dually. '91 Ford 1 ton Dually. '90 Ford F-700 forestry unit. I also have a 92' Ford 1 ton single rear wheel I'll have to dig up a pic or two of it somewhere. And the last one is of the boss with my forestry unit before it was painted.

I knew it nobody likes those Ridgelines, lol. My wife had to have one!
