Hilux

[Jammydogg]

Looking at getting myself a single cab hilux for weekend tree work, jus wondered if anyone on here had one and what they thought, also do they manage well with a load of chip etc?

 

Thanks guys

I agree get a transit tipper or similar much more versatile, holds more and you don't have shovel chip off at the end of the day.

There's a ranger tipper on ebay that would make a great first truck. If you don't need the 4x4 get a transit tipper or similar. Having to crawl in and shovel out chip will soon make you regret buying a non tipper.

Cheers guys, I hear what your saying about a tipper, I had one before when I was self employed, I'm employed now, and only do odd bits at weekends n occasionally have to clear waste etc, after something I can use for logs n jus cruising about n the odd hedge trimming job. If I went back self employed I'd most defiantly take the ripper route 👍🏾👍🏾

I had a single cab hilux and made up some greedy boards with ply and box metal so u could just take them on/off as required. Worked really well, suprising how much chip i could squeeze on and drove ok full up. It was a '95' non turbo model so quite slow. Did not take long to fork off chip. Have a detachable roof to make forking off easier.

or use a tarp (as a roof) with elastic shock cord stitched in all around the edges, light and easy to use.

My next truck will be a Toyota hilux single cab and get a full alloy tipper body put on? ☺️
