Thinking of changing from a disco 3 to a van mainly as i can move more weight at once when the van and a trailer are loaded
Something along the lines of..
12ft flatbed
3500kg towing
The less electrics the better!
Iveco daily seems to be the best choice but most of the chassis cab ones are only 110hp as they're ex asda/tesco wagons which i think will be a bit underpowered?
Thought about buying a 5 tonner and downplating but then will the ride be very harsh empty? Could i fit 3.5 ton springs to soften it a bit
Mostly will be just 500-1000kgs on the load bed just moving materials etc around but say 30% will be 1 ton+ on the bed and 3 ton+ on a trailer behind
Something around 2010-2016 I'm thinking as far as I know all the diesel ivecos are 3.5 ton towing?
Any thoughts/opinions/alternatives/reviews welcome
