Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

The most reliable truck of its type I know'

Lionel Tuson,

Group Transport Controller of Debenhams Limited, has this to say about the Dodge Commandos: 'We have over a hundred Dodge Commandos, about eighty of which are 908s. I chose them because they were the only 738 ton GVW trucks that met all our requirements and could accommodate a 1000 cu. ft. body without the need for chassis extensions.

'Since the introduction of Dodge Commandos, our operating costs have been reduced considerably. Their excellent reliability record is confirmed by the fact that time off-road has been reduced beyond all reasonable anticipation.

'We have over 90 operating centres which have to work to very tight budgets. Helped by the low maintenance costs of the Dodge Commandos, all have operated well within their targets.

'The Dodge Commandos have been good for Debenhams: apart from the fact that costs have been greatly reduced, the vehicles' smart, modern appearance reflects the company's image. And our drivers like them too. The cabs are well equipped and very comfortable. Not all operators need to make full use of a truck's maximum payload. It's space — sheer volume of carrying capacity— that they want from a non-HGV truck. And the Dodge Commando G08 gives them plenty. As with all Dodge Commando rigids, the G08 offers a choice of wheelbases, driveline combinations and chassis options. The G08 wheelbases range from 120 inches to 159 inches.

Standard power unit is a Perkins 3.86 litre 4-cylinder diesel, developing an installed power of 77.5 bhp at 2,800 rpm. As an option, there's the Perkins 5.8 litre 6-cylinder diesel, with installed power of 101.7 bhp at 2,800 rpm. Naturally, there's a choice of gearboxes and axle ratios.

A very wide range of bodies can be fitted. The tilt cabs can be Hi-line or Lo-line, with a variety of features that enable you to have a cab that is right for you and your drivers. All Dodge Commandos are backed by a comprehensive warranty package covering a period of 12 months with unlimited mileage. Full details about all Dodge Commandos are available from your Dodge Truck dealer.
