3.5t tipper needed

[diggerjones]

Do you mean length as park them side by side and the cab on the mitsubishi cabstar is significantly bigger both inside and out. The Isuzu are really narrow the cab is far narrower than the body and the body is narrower than a transit ( you can't fit a 2m wide pedestrian barrier in a grafter body)
Some of the grafters are lwb but this doesn't effect them much as the steering lock is so much better than a transit. The only thing is the overhang on the lwb grafters mean they aren't the best at reversing trailers

I've not studied any other trucks. I've had cabstars for 20 years. The dyna look good

 

[diggerjones]

What is most important? Payload / maneuverability/ reliability/ efficiency? Tipping trailer not an option?

Yes all of these. I don't think tipping trailer is the answer, still have to have a vehicle to pull that. I haven't got much on at moment, so no hurry
I'll use my van in the meantime

This looks the right money, might be a bit big for you though Dylan, and it’s miles away sadly…

About to stick my transit tipper up for sale now my house is finished but the guy who collects my scrap wants first refusal. It’s served me well but rust starting to bite in a few places

I'd say a bit dear perhaps. Just sold ours which was newer and much higher spec for 9.2K+vat and they weren't queuing up. If there's no vat on it then probably about right for someone who isn't vat registered

I agree, truck prices are on the way down. I'd value that at around £6k.

How much. It might tied me over

I’m holding off as long as possible. Our average van age is nearly 10years old, and I have 5 transits all over 10 years old and with 150-210k on the clock. We were lucky enough to upgrade 4 vans during the lockdowns at sensible prices with the CIBL. I’m trying to wait till June 2025 before buying any more as I’ll be all paid up then.

Pretty old vans those are now - we’ve still got an old (2005) 3.0l Daily with the previous shaped headlights and it’s getting rusty in places. Still pulls like a train though, best tow vehicle we have by a long stretch!

The gen3 dailys with the 3.0 take some beating. I've had 3. One we repaired with an old galv shelving unit.

I saw that iveco advertised somewhere, isn’t it a 5t downrated to 3.5t?

@diggerjones he’s having a look next week, if he doesn’t have it I’ll give you a shout. Was looking for 5k-ish.
