4x4 tipper advise

[Hodge]

You must be stationary to put landy in low box or you can knacker it:)

I can't think of any advantage a transit has over my defender, I can think of loads the defender has over the transit.

As for the iveco, it's no good having payload if you haven't got volume and you also have to have a huge turnover to make the capital investment pay

 

The Iveco has payload and volume, mine holds 7 cubic meters if chip and carry's it no problem, when filled to the max I am a shaving over 5500kg

-not sure what you meant by not having the volume?

The new Isuzu having 3500kg towing weight is all well and good but most of the current pickups have 2wd/4h/4l on a switch on the dash. 4H can usually be selected on the move but to select 4L usually requires a stop.... This isn't practical in every day towing. I think I'm right in saying you can select low range in a land rover whilst moving at up to 5mph??

 

Imagine you are pulling out of a steep tarmac driveway onto the road with a sharp turn at the top, 3.5t in 2wd isn't much use, 4h gives traction but lots of clutch slip and the 4wd system on most jap pickups makes turning the corner a total PITA and you can feel the whole truck scrubbing as you turn! 4L is geared low enough but you have to be prepared to scrabble your tyres as you turn and then hold everyone up whilst you stop and select neutral then select 2wd before pulling away again!!

 

I have a jap pick up..... I find myself gazing longingly at Land Rovers!!

 

if i were you id go test drive a d-max ,,

yes you can change from low to high in a landy if you double the clutch once you got moveing up to 7mph or so..
