Isuzu 1 of the better 1sUnfortunately, the driveway isn't long enough to accommodate the combined length of a pickup and trailer, and there is zero scope to have the nose of the vehicle out past the entrance.
Yeah I know the payload on 3.5t's is surprisingly low. Its kinda ridiculous that most (if not all 3.5t) cant legally carry a jumbo bag of sand or a pack of blocks as you say.
Do you know which 3.5 Tonner has the greatest payload capacity, its difficult to find out which one has?
They did put 7t on it tho![]()
OOPS
Wow, that just has hit the sweet spot to bend it like that. sweeet spot be ****ed ....... I'm giving up sugar if that's what it does to yer :oops::unsure:www.planttalk.co.uk

My mates did similar. They put a 1.5t digger and a 120 (3t) roller on it and a dumper on the trailer behind.hardly bloody surprising with what he had on the back of that old girl![]()

That looks a tidy vehicle. Please post on here when it comes to the end of its time with you!!View attachment 43953
I bought this to use while I’m doing my house renovation project. It cost less than 5k, and has moved numerous loads of rubble/soil/clay, stone back in, blocks, timber, insulation and plasterboard. Won’t win any awards but looks reasonably presentable and does the job. The downside is most tippers have lived a hard life, this one isn’t too bad but always seems to need something fixing. The positive is it will probably sell for close to purchase price once I’m done with it as long as it tips and has MOT! They are just so handy to nip to merchants etc.

I may still be interested if my self build is still ongoing at the time of your disposal. I had a crew cab one until last year but it was just too long and the crew cab depleted the load carrying capacityPictures probably make it look a bit better than it is, there’s a bit of rust creeping here and there!
bollocks, didn't see that! Shame.what'd that tow Doob? if it had a 'conventional' body on it I'd be very tempted myself ... handy sort of thing to have sat about as a "road going dumper" , for norralorrabucks![]()

I’ve been contemplating these but not managed to find anyone running them, and am generally wary of anything French (though I suspect they are actually Nissan, and that 2.3 is the Navara engine probably?). Look good trucks on paper and seem to be great value.Heres my old tipper. I sold it for 11k so done not bad. I've replaced it with 2 the same. They can have niggly faults but reliable enough. That ones had the dpf taken out if it. Small journey issues.
Heaps of torque. Can tow 3.5 tons. Has a load capacity of 850kg but can comfortably handle twice that. The aluminum box is the one to go for. Very well built and stands up to more than you think.
I’ve got 3 old Cabstar and they aren’t bad, but the cabs rot for fun under the seats.If you’re tight on space And staying local-ish I’d look for a cabstar. Wouldn’t want to travel the country in one but narrower than a transit where access is tight
This looks a reasonable buy for the money www.eBay.co.uk/itm/304795266765
The 2.3 engine is a Renault anyhow as far as I know. Been no bother to me though in Navaras.I’ve been contemplating these but not managed to find anyone running them, and am generally wary of anything French (though I suspect they are actually Nissan, and that 2.3 is the Navara engine probably?).

Renault always used to make good, long living enginesThe 2.3 engine is a Renault anyhow as far as I know. Been no bother to me though in Navaras.
I’m thoroughly disappointed that they no longer make a Cabstar![]()
I had a Navara with that engine and I loved it, great truck (better than my new hilux if I’m honest).The 2.3 engine is a Renault anyhow as far as I know. Been no bother to me though in Navaras.
