Only can have utility trailers on a dump and such, no tractor/trailer combo. But damn, cheap cheap cheap. Looks like it already has a stacker car transport inside, but those doors are swing outs, must use ramps? edit: I take that back, looks like shelves… ---

Dont you need something to go inside before you buy a tow/haul vehicle? > [@Mk4 30R"](#): > > cab overs are scary. and you need a CDL A to operate that truck Whats so scary about them? I drive a cab over box truck everyday at work. Much better turning radius with a cab over. ---

Much better turning radius with a cab over. cab over isuzu box truck is much different than a cabover tractor… yes turning is great, they are awesome for close quarters driving, but i dont like being up over the front of the vehicle, id like a little between me and what is out there ---

Ive been driving the '08 UD at work for a while now. The '97 Isuzu turns better but its tired with 269k. The biggest truck Ive driven was a Penske International box truck and it was a conventional cab. Probably just under a CDL requirement. ---

the penske truck i had was under 26k gross. it was 26ft long box. it was an airride, Hino brand truck, junkjitsu diesel rig. we had scaled at 25,800lb + we had a single spot car trailer behind it. car had a bunch of stuff in it as well… total road weight was probably around 30,000lb’s and we were about 53ft long in total… it was a pretty big machine. ---

Id say. I dont remember the size of the box on the one we had. 20’ maybe? Nice riding truck. Weird tranny though- no park position. Also the governor at 70 sucked like it does with the UD I drive. Theres times when it should be able to go a little faster. ---

That is in pretty good shape for the year.Cabovers are nice for visability but loud as hell.But i am sure we can customize the shit out of it with some chrome add ons and doing some interior stuff. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-think-i-just-found-my-new-tow-vehicle/243498.md?page=2)
