Welcome to Laurie Dealer's used truck of the week. Each week our man inside the used truck trade picks out a truck or trailer from CM's online classified list. This week it's an MAN TGS 8x4 tipper
This week's best used truck is a 2008-registered MAN TGS 8x4 with a steel tipper body.
Plated on an 08, this TGS 35.360 is powered by the 10.5-litre Euro-4 engine, which delivers 360hp, and it has a ZF Tipmatic automated transmission.
It is fitted with a day-cab, and the bodywork is a Thompson steel body with an electric sheet and air-operated tailgate. Additional specification includes an on-board weighing machine. The truck's MoT is valid until July next year.
The asking price for the tipper, previously owned by a civil engineering company, is £32,500 (plus VAT). The TGS 35.360 is the heavyduty muckaway chassis-cab version. It lacks the off-road
oomph of a Renault Kerax, for example, but its on-road performance is much akin to the lightweight TGS, making it more refined on the blacktop. Its reputation as a sound viable truck is well deserved. It is being sold by Warner of Wingate.
