One clutch in ten years that must be a record for a tranny! We've had three clutches in about 4-5 years, but then that is towing a large chipper or a trailer with a tracked machine. To me transits are more like vans (like what plumbers drive) and the Isuzu or Canter are more like little trucks and as such are better built and suited to tree work and carrying large loads.

 

One thing to bear in mind is servicing, not sure what Ford charge but our one year old truck has just gone in for a service and it is around £750 plus vat
