As said in post above I wasn't particularly happy when the only 3.5t truck I could get made that length was an IVECO, but really can't fault it in two and half years of owning it and have done quite a few miles in it myself, it's been great.
Had driven an L-Reg TurboDaily years ago and it was a heap of shit.
We borrowed a 7.5t EuroCargo (Ford engine) which was a 2005 which drove nice, obviously limited top speed, but outdragged most trucks its size uphill easily, but had a few bits of trim break off outside (interior was ok) and had a number of niggly little faults with it.
So I was always pretty anti-IVECO before this truck.
