I can honestly say in all 8 companies I have worked for with a combined fleet of some 100 workwagons that none have had ford, chev or dodge, I guess they are mainly american/canadian fare.

Isuzu, Nissan, Toyota, Holden, Mazda, Hino, ERF and Mitsubishi

I personally like and have an Isuzu NPR 4wd, its awesome!

What kind of poll on trucks doesn have GMC...Your results will be skewed as I put mine into other.

You probably should have put toyota in there if you want a good poll!

F-250 loaded with 1500 KG's
Is that all? She can take more than that, with a full floater rear axle. How about at the dump over 10k lbs. with a 79 C20 that wieghs about 5300lbs. empty? Pulled over 9500k lbs loaded with firewood through the dump to go home with a 80 GMC C2500 (same thing)a couple of times, overload fines coming up. You can load the snot right out of those old Chevys. :rockn:

chevy

Just got rid of an 84 Chevy K20 (4x4) w/6.2l diesel. That truck would pull/tow/push/drag/go through ANYTHING. Never failed me on time. Never stuck it. Always did everything I asked of her. Did I mention that she got 20mpg AND had 270,000+ miles on the original motor? With 4.10 gears and 35" mud terrains? I'll miss the old girl. :cry:

For me, I' own a Ford ranger, 2.0L motor, 3.08 gears in the diff, 23mpg at 55mph. cant complain about that, but I need to replace the motor and tranny since the bearings are going, and I wanted a newer motor in it anyways and the engines rear main seals leak.

other truck, which will soon be a daily driver, is my 87 chevy 3/4 ton
truck with 4x4.

brand doesnt matter, as long as it gets the job done and doesnt cost me a bunch to keep going.
