CM's Used Truck report has been renamed "Tools of the Trade" to reflect the fact that we intend to report on a wider range of vehicles, no longer restricting ourselves to those we originally roadtested when new.
Each month, Tools of the Trade will highlight a popular commercial vehicle from 7.5 tonnes GVW upwards, canvassing the views of operators with a range of operations and specifications. However, as ever you'll find com
ments on second-hand prices as well as information on parts and servicing: in short, all the information to decide on whether our featured Tool of the Trade is a good buy--new or used.
Over the coming months we'll be looking at the following models: Volvo 1112
Renault Premium 385 Scania P-cab tractor at 3401ip-plus MAN F2000 8x4
Isuzu NQR 7.5-tanner
Seddon Atkinson Strato tractor Volvo FH12/16 Leyland Daf 85 Series Foden Alpha 3000 If you run any of these models and wish to participate in our operator feedback fax your details to Bill Brock on 01628 624224.
Operators must have comprehensive service records and, where possible, should have operated the models concerned for at least 18 months.
