Anyone use a club cab pick for firewood?

[farmer_ben]

My search for a suitable single cab pick up is proving to be quite tricky, i have found 2 club cab pick ups in my price range, just wondered if anyone has one and what the capacity is roughly of the buck. thanks for any advice

Do you mean the 3/4 cabs like on the King Cab Navara or Super Cab Ranger? My K/C Navara's buck is 180x150x50 if that helps.

I have a 2007 Ranger Super Cab and the back holds 1 cubic metre of 10 inch logs. When I was searching for a vehicle I looked at the e-brochures from the manufacturers web sites to obtain the bed dimensions and then you can work out the cubic capacity. I love the super cab configuration as you can load the buck up and still have room in the cab for coats, tools and more importantly, kelly kettle and bait bag:thumbup:

Yes i bought a single cab and regreted it ever since, not alot of room in the front for anything

One of the most popular vehicles in our yard is one of the oldest, a 1996 VW Transporter crewcab dropside, the rear is never used for passengers, merely "clag" but it makes all the difference.

I have been looking at putting a tipper body on an extra cab. They normally have the best payload of the three but still enough room for a worth while tipper. The hilux single cab only carries 700kg wheras the extra cab nearly 1100 kg or more when the body is removed.

Just bought a Mazda crew cab which I am planning to use with a Sankey trailer for log collection/ delivery next season

Two trucks

 

Logs always delivered in single cab Hilux (mine)

 

Fishing gear, footy kit and all children (his) always in (smart) double cab L200 4Life (his)

 

Although most of the deliveries I then do - the only decision for me is wife / or dog? And then off to the pub; "Has that dog been on this seat" - Don't think so dear

I've just treated myself to a brand new Toyota Dyna. It's coming on Thursday next week. I'm also having a custom back end built for it which will consist of three bays each capable of holding 1.2 cube with hinged doors dividing the bays which will have pins at the bottom. I can then simply lay a tarp down on the floor and pull either 1,2 or 3 pins depending on how much wood the customer wants and tip the back end and drive away.

 

Can't wait as its going to make deliveries even quicker and easier. Only issue with them is they're naff in snow and mud.
