Ugottacabstar Steve?:001_tongue:

 

I used to use one - great for small driveways etc but it was a pig when loaded and towing a chipper. Came to a complete standstill on some hills around here a couple of times which was a tad embarassing.

I remember telling you that ages ago when you we're looking at buying a 6.5 tonner. I find them terribly uncomfortable to drive.

 

I would consider the Iveco over any of the Japs, fantastic engine and great cabs, or if you have the money a Mercedes Sprinter or Vario.

I'm 6ft, my colleague is over 6ft and the other guy 6ft+ and 19 1/2 stone, being the smallest i have to sit in the middle, it ain't funny!

Good trucks though

Only one of those i have experience with is the dyna. I like em, plenty of power and a good solid all round truck. They look pretty cool to with a proper made metal body on the back.

 

Down side though is as people have pointed out about the size of the cab. Its so small, with 3 people its a nightmare. Just about enough room for two people with lunch stuff, coats etc.

 

I would choose one truck above all the ones mentioned without giving it a thought but thats not what you asked for so dyna for me :cool1:
