Thread: Iveco Daily 4x4

Went to check out a Daily 4x4 today at Arndell Park Iveco , they are very impressive, and quite imposing, I was expecting something the size of a 101 , looks and feels a lot bigger in the skin, nothing at all like the 2wd Daily you are more familliar with.

a number of posters have mentioned MB Sprinters......are these a 4x4?

No the only 4x4 MB option for us is a G-Wagon. Unimog is the next 4x4 step up.

I'm trying to build a case for the Daily 4x4 option with the Minister of Finance. 40,000 klm btwn scheduled services, The big bonus over the Defender / G-Wagon Tug is Theres room for a trades body behind the Dual Cab to carry my business equipment, wifes Art supplies and a couple of bikes , and plus all our camping gear and still be WAAY under GVM,

Victorian Ambulance trialled some 4x4 Sprinters a few years ago. They were all manuals.

That's for the OBM (On Board Mechanic).

did a bit of an overlay, just to check the proportion with our Caravan. interesting comparison,
Btw the Daily 4x4 is 133" wheelbase,




width x height x length
Landrover 110 1791 x2134 x4600
Landrover 101 1828 x 2184 x 4089
Daily Dual Cab 2016 x 2629 x 5432

For such a high vehicle rollover angle is still great @ 40 degrees.

Nice comparison there goingbush. Can you do one for the 130 D/C

A interrnet search in forum throws up a few complaints just like our Land Rovers!!!!
I guess it is down to what real support there is and how well the dealer really knows the car just like Landrovers.
