MAN...then a Leyland Daf...then a Merc..then a Ford..beit an older cargo, or the newer Iveco.
Chassis weight wise..
MAN is lightest..then Daf..then Iveco..then Merc..
just depends what you'd like as a "container"....
7.5T tend to be a bit optimistic if advertised as 3 horse with full living..2 horse with full living is more realistic..
i'd personally have a MAN over any other for ease of maintenence and drive.
the Daf would come a close second.
oh, and get one with a tilt cab!!..your mechanic will be very pleased.

It's not a Cargo. It's a Ford Iveco, not the old style Cargo.

ford ivecos drive like a car! (or so im told
)
we got a non-hgv 4 horse for 6k but it was highly grafieted with the old owners sponsers (everywhere!!) and had no living.
second the idea with a tilt cab! much easier to work with

I am having a lorry built and all of the manufacturers said that
Iveco were the lightest, then DAF and MAN and Mercedes were the heaviest.
