advice for first arb truck

[Ian Clarke]

hello all arb talk truckers

 

i would like some advice on my first arb truck. i am currently a free lance climber or groundie*take whatever work comes my way. but i also run a small gardening business hedges and that sort of stuff. i dont have a chipper to tow around but may need to take a trailer.

 

what i would like is something that has

4wd incase i need it for a job

sit 2 adults and 2 kids *thinking of the future and dual purpose work and family

tow nicely*im not wanting to bomb it down the motorways but i dont want to be over taken by old grannies either

and that i can just dump kit in and go camping for a weekend.

 

i am thinking pickup truck but i am open to all suggestions from vans to tippers so over to you guys and gals what do you suggest and what is your experiences.

 

thank

you sorry its a long question

No but it just makes sense imo for free lancing and doing your own small jobs.

Instead of a trailer you have the option of hiring a chipper and blasting straight into the back.

Lots more pics on the Pro Tipper Facebook page, or if you want to have a look at mine give me a bell and we can meet up.

Will agree with that

 

If going Hilux go for a Mk4 min as it has a 2.4 td. If looking for older look for a import Mk3 which has ifs suspension and a 2.8 engine

just looked up the facebook page and i like the navara with the secure tool storage. what would the cost be for a secure tool storage back on a pick up truck with a double cab
