And the Volvo FMX. :laughing:
…Which would be higher on my tipper wish list. So would MAN if they cured the leprosy within the interior.
A few years back, a manufacturer’s standard truck was usually adequate for tipper work. Foden, ERF, Sed Atki, Mercedes with the SK, even back to the Scammell Routeman. Are modern models with all their electronic assisted this and that too flimsy to cope with a few potholes?

Probably, but I think tipper trucks have gone a bit ginger beer in recent years. MAN interiors are clearly not built to be bashed around off road. Daf electrics don’t like wheelwashes.
