Start-up vehicle

[emcgee]

What vehicles have people started up with? Urgently need a vehicle; not sure wether to hold out for a tipper of some description or buy an entry level pick-up?

 

Pictures are good

 

Cheers

Hard to say, guess it depends on workload, distances & type of work undertaken. We (just) manage to make do with a couple of 4x4s, one with large 4 wheel trailer, the other with a small chipper on trailer. Good luck if you're looking at tippers, went to see several Transits on Auto trader & all turned out to be rubbish, hence us making do...for now.

What 4 x 4s do you run mate? Plenty of L200's in my area but heard mixed reviews. How much would you look at investing in a 4 x 4? Cheers

for what its worth....

After many combinations over the years I am back to a single cab Transit with tool locker and alloy body, its a single wheeler. I can legally carry 1 ton.

I am half way through building my own arb tipping body on a chassis cab twin wheeler using a steel frame and alloy plank body.

My old LDV did me well still miss the tool storage to this day, Funny old thing to drive but earned its keep.

I'm driving dirt tracks and would love to have something that can handle getting into the forest, so a tranny is off the cards for now. have been tempted though, seems a quiet affordable option

Hilux etc, does me fine, likes diesel

[emcgee]

Got greedy boards on it and stuff? any mods

If you haven't got a clue what vehicle you need are you ready to start on your own?

That's not a dig, it's a fact.
