Firewood delivery truck.

My faithful old Transit tipper has finally gone to that great scrapheap in the sky and I'm in a bit of a dilemma as to what to replace it with - mainly for firewood deliveries.

Previously I used a Hi-lux which was great except for the fact that the fuel consumption was similar to the Tranny with half the payload and the hassle of hand-balling at the delivery end. It went everywhere though, and I do find that the Transit seems to only just fit on so many deliveries - I've lost count of the number of times I've had to fold the wing mirrors in - and I get a bit tired of negotiating entrances with bugger all room to play with. Sometimes I can't even get out the cab.:biggrin:

Question is whether to go for another Tranny for bigger loads or a smaller, nimbler, more economical 2wd pick-up with one of those easy empty liner thingys. What do most peeps use for log deliveries? Thoughts welcome please...

I use an l200 single cab and can fit 2 bags on and i have hi sides on so can get 2 m3 loose no worries. It actually holds a midgy's under 4m3 but don't dare fill it :) I have a 105 ifor tipper aswell for multiple drops too. I used to have a tranny tipper with a 7ft wide alloys bed and that might aswell of been a 7.5tonner when it came to access. Could hardly get in anywhere.
