- Come check this New Van and listen to my "as I see it" opinions on it. Looking forward to spending some time getting it setup with a great fit out. Draws and Storage for use by a Carpenter or other trades person. Come see how the new Barn Doors Operate.
Build on Legends. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Having the ability to put a pallet is good, but if you fit yours out with shelving, then there will be no room for a pallet, so really would have been better with the lift -up option to keep the rain off.
Actually, needed to stick a pallet in the other day. Worked a treat. But I see your point about the cover. Might be another topic for an As I See it.
Epic. I bloody love vans aye. Good stuff.
Thanks Mate. Looking forward to getting it fitted out.
the pallet/forklift ability was the reason we bought the barn door option :)
Certainly, makes loading heavier items easier.
I used to have a Hiace van mate. Every time it was raining, I always reversed straight into customer garage 😄
Bugger, Bloody hope I dont do that. HAHAHA
I cant wait until i see this vehicle driving all over the island of jamaica
Lift up door makes more sense for tradie
Yer I honestly thought the same. But the barn doors have grown on me. Certainly came in handy afew times to only have to open one small door for access.
@midlifecarpentry definitely easy for quick access, only use them in my courier business.
But to work out of your van as a tradie and to walk around the barn doors open are a pain. Let alone missing the shelter a lift up provides.
Having a currently empty van, have you had any issues with traction? My 200 series is an absolute mess with nothing in it, can't get over wet grass, wheels spin reversing up a hill, etc. Am curious if the 300 series are much better in that regard.
Hey mate, Wasn't empty for long and wasn't driven much while is was. So I couldn't say. Will let you know when I had it over the wet season 😜
Hi mate, you should think about blocking out your rego
Crossed my mind a few times. Guess its out there these days. Was thinking of some stickers on the back window anyways. 😊
can you put a pallet through the side doors?
Not on this model. But pretty dam sure the SLWB model allows pallet through the side door.
Top review mate, looks like a beast. What's the towing capacity on them? Was your pooch backing one out in the early stages of your video lol. As they say never work with dogs and children. Buy some of those canvas seat covers, they've saved my Hilux from a lot of seat damage (unsure of the name I bought) but TJM Cairns sell them.
1900KG towing on them. So nothing to crazy. Suitably impressed with what it can fit in it though, had 2700x1200 plasterboard sheets in the back the other day. Flat and out of the weather. HAHAHA Yer and Ryder was doing the business in the back. Wanted to keep it there for a laugh.
@@midlifecarpentry Awesome mate, enjoy seeing your journey.
What sort economy are you getting, I have been told it drinks diesel.
Yer mate it seems on the high side hey. I'm getting 14.5 per 100. But I do alot of city driving. Mainly 60kph. I know guys who get closer to 11.
I have the 2021 model with a Frontline camper conversion. Weight is close to the GVM of 3200kgs(i think). We get combined 9.6 l/100kms. Pretty good, I thought.
Is this the Super LWB or just LWB?
Hi Mate, Just the LWB. Easier for driving in town.
vw caddy or this... I am struggling.. I want something for my painting business
Such a nice vehicle to have. Not sure on the VW Caddy. Never driven one.
VW is ok if you like seeing it in repair shop most of its time
