4x4 tipper advise

[Kev Stephenson]

new defender 130 chassis cab is 1858kg with a full tank and driver (from the land rover site). It's easy to get a 1000kg payload with a chip box fitted

Mine has Ally body, high sides, tool box and very good springs;)

130 crew cab kerb weight is listed as 2086kg.

 

Every winter I fancy going down the 4x4 king/super/club cab tipper route, but always decide I simply need the space my Transit gives.

 

Not just chip and logs, and lets face it if you fill it you're massively overweight, but hedge cuttings and rakings as well.

I think defenders look great but thats where it ends for me, if i wanted a cracking off-roader id buy a wrangler, if i wanted to do day to day average domestic tree/hedge work id buy a transit.

If i wanted to do a lot of off road work and remove chip/logs id buy a Mog/Iveco 4x4

The only benefits I can see from a defender is its towing capacity

 

Only my opinion
