I have a grafter 150 towing a 1.2 tonne chipper and full of chip is no problem
-
I am in the market for a new truck (well new to me!). At the moment i've looked into the Isuzu grafters, nissan cabsters and Ford Transits.
I've kind of rulled out the Isuzu grafter due to lack of space to put things in the cab i.e no glove boxes etc. I do however like the cabster which is a pretty similar vehicle but has the extra cubby holes in the cab for bits and Ford transits which I have always had seem pretty similar to what i've had before.
Im looking at 15/16 reg vehicles so 5/6 years oldish. Is there anything I should know about the nissans or transits? I know the early 2.0litre transit engines had a few problems so will try get the old 2.2 version if i go that way.
Any thoughts would be great!
Cheers,
James.
Forget the transit a friend of mine has one with a light metal tipping body and with 600kg he was over weight
A double cab your down to less than half tonne legally
Isuzu grafter or cabstars will carry close to the tonne
If single wheel, dual wheel your down another 150-200 kg
If Isuzu go for the 150 as they pull really well -
Had the cabstar for 5 years now and wouldn't have another. Endless problems with it and nissan are as good as useless.
Yes Nissan had my navara for over a month and couldn’t fix it
The old cabstars are bulletproof sold mine at over 200,000 miles still going strong -
Shouldn’t make any difference if blades are not sharp

Truck and chipper needed Saturday 20th November for a couple hours chipping that's all cash paid in hand once the job is complete.
