Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Although MAN's L2000 range will be replaced by the TGL this spring the equivalent heavier TOM won't he with us for a while —so the current M2000 middleweight range from 14 to 26-tonnes will soldier on for some time yet Nevertheless, just like the 12000 (with which it shares the same basic cab) it's a well-built no-nonsense truck with a surprisingly broad range of chassis options from solo or drawbar 4x2 rigids. through 4x4 'specials right up to 6x2 and 6x4s. All are powered by the DOB six-cylinder engine rated at 220 or 280hp and are titled with either a six or ninespeed gearbox with the option of a 16-speed for top weight drawbar work. Meanwhile, the 6x4 makes bra very attractive lightweight mixer chassis with a class leading body/payload allowance that's only rivalled by Mercedes Atego. The M2000 cab interior is probably best described as no-frills but, in line with MAN's traditionally good build quality, its hard wearing which makes it ideal for urban distribution work.

Chassis built for urban distribution t. Mixer version offers excellent payload Driver appeal not high Six-litre engine lowers residual value VERDICT M2000 is a no-nonsense truck that's built to last. But lower driver appeal compared 1 with Dab, Mercedes and Swedes
