new work bus

[Gall.B]

Totaly agree, just load in what I need now & some spare stuff. rarely carry materials get everything delivered but im 85% sub work any way.

I'm 6'4" and don't have to climb in anywhere.... I just put my cutters and tool bag in my pickup and the apprentice has everything else in the transit. I would agree that the loadspace is limited, but with forward planning you do normally have everything you need.....

Well guys those pick ups are certainly better looking than a Trannie Tipper. However I lost £600 worth of power tools whilst loading my van in Bristol earlier this year - round here you could lose your tools when stopped at the traffic lights if ur using a pickup. Good for carrying materials though.

Not a problem Andy, as most have lockable roll-top/hydraulic/hardtops.
My Armadillo roll-top cover is more secure than any van lock without a doubt. My pick up is fully lined too, so just pressure wash out once a month and all clean again

carryboy gives a height advantage over a tonneau I reckon, (my old van still hasn't moved lol)

Totally agree with the height thing, but the tonneau give's it the proper pickup look that I like....0)

I agree boys...... I had a Snug-Top, but fuel economy was awful (as were the looks) so went for the stylish look. I just drive with roll-top back when carrying tall things, but usually get everything in/ on top of the Armadillo

My dog loves it in the back Doug... Well she's always wagging her tail when I open it....(;0)

Don't like the idea of having to use it for work all week then you jump in it at the weekend and it's dusty and dirty. Seems awkward in that it has the same footprint as a van but you can get very little in it.

You can however get to work in the snow & ice!

but the cab is separate from the pick-up section, so all the dust, apart from on your work clothes, stays in the pick-up section

Honestly. The lengths people will go to - just to transport their TX1500 to the work site.
