Have got £10k to spend on a 3 horse lorry. Can anyone advise what makes to go for?
From what I've gathered over the years, MAN and Mercedes are the only two makes that are good/reliable?
Leyland Dafs and Roadrunners, and Ford Iveco's all have had a lot of problems/difficulties?
Do correct me if Im wrong!
Also need advice about which type of lorry has the highest and lowest Miles to the Gallon, and also very important is that the lorry MUST give a totally smooth and stable ride for the horses with no rocking them about whatsoever.
Have no idea what to look for so any advice would be much appreciated...looking for a 3 horse lorry, with small living, outside tacklockers (prefably not going into the horse area) plenty of headroom and width in the horse area, and a low slung ramp set on shallow not high and steep. Must be a stable drive and not 100 years old. Think I can find this for £10k?
