First budget unit what would you recommend

BLACK KIDO 1:
The only downside is if you are fully loaded, you will need to have the patience of a saint up the hills and taking off.

Definitely! Pulling a full water tanker in a Renault and Jesus they take a long time to get going, on a steep hill it drops right back down to 10mph quick fast! Very rapid when empty though, and a clean high spec with lots of gadgets. I turned my nose up at them until I drove one, I’m still unsure why the company doesn’t use V8 or Volvo 750s though given 50% of the time is pretty much running at 44t
