Importing vehicles?

[bolthole]

Bump!

[IVECOKID]

I have been tempted to buy a IVECO 4x4 and this one on E-BAY has been up for sale for some time now item No-111452654711 .

I run a FORD F350 LONG BED SUPER DUTY but it came in down rated to save a lot of hassle and will pull and carry anything without a issue .

Its a shame i can only tow legally 3.5 TON has it has a tongue weight of 245kgs on towbar .

I have looked into running it back at 5T but far to much hassle and paper work plus Tacho ,operators badge etc .

What's that like on fuel. I saw one the other day and thought it'd make a good arb truck

[IVECOKID]

5.4L v8 engine single figures Around town Terrible ,shocking ,heartburn every time i pull in to a petrol station (£120 Gets half a tank) .

On motorway much better 12-15 towing and no need to rev above 2500 rpm .

 

The Diesel engines are worse has they are 7.3L,6.0L or 6.4L on newer models .

 

The older 7.3 is the best motor fitted has the 6.0L has cost FORD millions in buy backs has after 30 thou they go bang .

considered a Gas conversion for it Ste ?

[IVECOKID]

Dont do enough miles too justify GAS ,Only use it for work if me trailer is still full from previous job or if my van ever lets me down but mainly for leisure time at weekends .

 

8 years on and never missed a beat and i tried to kill the auto box going too Flamingo land via scenic route with a silly caravan behind .

 

I still say GAS kills a big engine and i just love the noise it belts out .
