[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7977627, member: 718"] They either want and need a pickup or they don’t. It’s that simple. Plenty of vans and two wheel drive pickups such as that lovely Fiat 1 ton available. Vans available in 4wd if required and I was following a pimped-up VW the other day. Two unrelated friends, one a builder and the other a farrier, also have 4wd VW vans. There’s a lot to be said for large side doors and a low load deck for those that don’t need a pickup. As far as towing goes, I’ve got two different contractors working on my lane this week putting down fibre optic cable in a tubular conduit [they intend to meet in the middle like how the Chanel Tunnel was built, only on a smaller scale and faster]. They have king cab pickups towing Ditch Witches and mini diggers. They drive two hours each way to work here and one lot only works for four hours and go home while the other is on piecework and to a full eight hours plus travelling. I’m willing to bet that both the DitchWitches and diggers plus their trailers are very near 3.5 tons per unit. [ATTACH type="full"]1015479[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]1015480[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
