hello,
I use to drive NPR's for a office delivery company a few years back in college. They were nice trucks. Had a engine brake mounted on the column that was a nice feature not found on regular dumps.
We would haul 3 pallets of printer paper around, which averaged around 2500lb each, and the truck handled it well, both locally and on the highway.
would be nice for trailer, as the turning radius is so nice. Can maneuver around better than any pickup/dump.
Also, the dump beds are nice and low, making loading a little easier than with some of the higher fords and dodges, though chevy's are pretty low too.
I see a ton of landscapers using them these days, so I would have to say they are good trucks.
