chris40 ◊ 2007-12-10 17:25	Agreed. Nice little truck; well equipped and quite lively, if you were used to a Ford Cargo ...
Ddey65 ◊ 2007-12-10 21:27	You'd probably know better than I do. From what I've read, a lot of truck drivers in this country found the Ford C-Series trucks much more comfortable to drive than the Ford Cargo. -- Last edit: 2011-06-29 19:58:05 (G-MANN)
chris40 ◊ 2007-12-10 22:03	In fairness, the Cargo I had in mind was (like this Leyland DAF) smaller than the C-Series seems to be; I'm referring to 7.5 tonne gross trucks. The Cargo had a driver's seat like a park bench, but it was surprising how long you could live with it: I've regularly driven one as far, and for as long, as the law allowed. But the Leyland DAF I once drove had a much more sophisticated driver's seat, heated mirrors and a lot of other kit the Cargo lacked. I think Ford have a reputation for what British drivers call 'gaffer's wagons' - trucks which are cheap to buy and run, but which don't cater much for the driver's comfort or convenience.
