What can a DCPU do that a SW can't ?




Carry rocks, logs, wet dogs, soil, not leak as bad, not smell as bad, no leaky windows, quieter, handy tailgate to sit on, put a tarp in fill it full of water and have a bath, carry tall things, wash out the back with a hose. Whistle


Can do all that with a SW except Carry tall things, I knew there was something I was missing :roll laugh: fortunately I can fold down my seats and make tall thing become long things.

I have owned two DCPU's and whilst they should be great in theory, I find the load space just too small and restrictive, as always its down to personal opinion but I find a SW with a roof rack a much better all rounder. Richard

Either a 90, 110 or 130.

Think it comes down to quite specific types of use (generally dirty/smelly stuff in the pick up!) but there is bound to be a trade off with each model! As with my TD5 I am finding the SW orientation best for family and work, although I don't stuff the mower in the back of the SW any more and use a trailer instead.

Any excuse for some pretty pics Laughing I'd have them ALL

Was wondering why the DCPU in the picture looks like it's sitting higher than the rest - Then I realised it's the only one not fitted with the wheelarch extenders.
