    2WD different kettle of fish, It all Iveco

    The 4WD is cobbled from parts made by various manufacturers

    The Axle assemblies are by Carraro , an Italian Tractor builder, and thus the brakes are not suitable for road speeds, but none the less - unbreakable .

    The chassis, suspension and transfer case is built by Industrial supplier SCAM Trucks and Iveco have no idea (or training) how to service them. TC also not suitable for highway speeds.

    As for price, I notice you're trading under the dealership's cash sales account.
    Have you considered creating a business or personal account with the dealership, and putting the thumb screws on them to drive at the very least, 'trade' discount? I think you'll find they'd be somewhat reasonable if you approach them about it.

    For many trade suppliers like this, there is NO discounting on the cash sales account, hence you'll be 'gouged' at list price every single time.

    Secondary point - it's a truck. Truck things are expensive.

    With all the modifications, lack of support and doubt about these things, wouldn't an Isuzu 4x4 of similar size be a better proposition in this country? I ask this as a casual bystander.

    not necessarily , you can buy a kit to reline the all wheel brakes on B Double cheaper than a single set of rear brake shoes for a Daily 4x4 .

    if the brakes actually stopped the vehicle it would not hurt so much.
