Starting to look for a new (used) van and want as big a payload as possible (4t ideally).

Is the Iveco daily my only real choice? 70c18 or 72c18.

Sprinter seems to only go to 5t mgw?

Anything else out there I've not thought about?

Might go 7.5t box, but is it possible to get 4 tonne payload?

I'm going to start another thread with some O licence questions.

I'll look further into some of the DAF 7.5 tonners.

Was that a box on a Daily van chassis or a more traditional 7.5 tonner truck chassis?

If the latter, yes it would be good to know the weight, thanks.

I've looked up the DAF 7.5 tonners, but can only really find the weight without a box, and they seem to be between 3.6 tonne and 4 tonne before adding a box.

Wow, 7.5t box with tail lift is remarkably poor!

what licence do you have if its a full C rigid not grandfather you would be better looking
at a 12 tonner same size as a 7.5 just stronger springs ,hubs and wheels you would
have a good 6 ton+ payload ...
Yeah full C licence.
12 tonner would be a good shout actually, if I could find one small enough.

Any idea what makes/models I should be searching for on autotrader to have a look?
