Those looking at a light truck should seriously consider the benefits that come with a heavy panel van, and in the same vein, the Iveco.
The Daily is an impressive representation of when a heavy van works. It's well put together, easy to drive and navigate [though we would tighten up the shifting on the otherwise competent Agile box).
Being very un-truck like is a major factor in the Daily 65's sales pitch, eschewing the sometimes laboured and ponderous nature that you can get with a fully blown example, while providing the versatility and user-friendliness that come with a sorted van.
However, you'll be taking on a tachograph and in some cases further driving licence responsibilities, along with limited top speed but all these issues come with this weight, whatever the configuration.
But they don't come with the 35, and in this cavernous form you get a load volume that near matches its bigger brother but admittedly with around two-tonne less of payload, and there's the rub it really is your call on this one.
