Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

2,300-3,350mm Bodies: Dropside, t pper Load volume: Chassis-cab MODE'S TESTED/ PUBLISHED: 350 BOX 19 February 2004 350 TIPPER 6 April 2006 When Toyota launched the Dyne at the back end of 2001 we thought it might signal Toyota's intentions in the UK CV market, but sadly it seemed nothing more than a flash in the pan. And although the little 3.5ton ner is a decent enough proposition its well behind its arch rival, the Nissan Cabstar when it domes to sales figures.

As well as the 3.5-tonner there's a 3.0t chassis cab available, Both are powered by the same 2.5-litre D4D Toyota engine, one of the best common-rail motors around, and available in the Dyna chassis in 109ho format, bolting out a creditable 286Nm of torque. All Dynas are equipped with the same fivespeed transmission. The interior of the Dyna is simple and straightforward and as you'd expect with this layout it's a bit cramped for those of a bigger frame, however this feature does at least ensure you can poke the Dyna in pretty much anywhere.

On the road, it must be said. the Dyna is a bit of a handful and not one of our favourites; too much understeer and a very harsh suspension make it an uncomfortable ride, while the cab over engine design makes for a noisy interior.
