Something to make you laugh, but it what gets the job done here.

One on my UK Ford Transit Tippers, rest are Ford Ranger Pickups.
4 Cyl 2.5 Litre Diesel non turbo, 28MPG
3.5 ton Tipper with Del 1/2 ton tail lift for ride on mowers etc
Cab is 3 seater
Body is 15ft Long x 7 ft wide x 3 ft high approx

As Diesel is $6 per US Gallon here I am experimenting with a 30% mix of Vegetable Oil at 1/2 the price, no loss of power or MPG and the engine runs smoother. If we used recycled oil from resturants it would be free.

Have a good 2006 Season all

Sorry about that seems to be missing from my profile.

Bit of a mixture, mowing, landscaping new properties, trees, hedges

Looks great man! Great idea for a truck. Bet you save a ton on fuel being a 4cyl.

Yes does 70mph wether loaded or not, like most trucks travels better with something on it!

Sorry it's not as pretty as yours guys but it is a work truck, I really love the USA trucks though.
