Highest will be T430.. 4300kg mgw

First 2 numbers will be power output, then T followed by the gross weight.

Ah ok, guess I always thought T350 was max as that's the highest GVW you can drive on a post 97 licence. Guess the 430's are just rarer because of this smile

Yes, a 430 will be a very rare beast. Will most certainly be fitted with a tacho, and probably be a twin wheel truck.
