    With all the bells and whistles on the d3 I thought it would sweep the street while you drove it.

    Not sure about that, for this application they may have been better off with a Mitsubishi Canter or Isuzu NPS sized tow vehicle.

    Just wait and see if Aus gets the D3 commercial - prob not.

    The D3 Commercial would be perfect for me - 2 seats, cargo barrier behind the front seats and all that cargo area - enough for a fridge and a couple of spare 35's!!!
