Saw someone ask for feedback on an Isuzu NPR and thought I would post about a similar truck. I drove a cab/chassis model 3500 (has dual rear wheels). It is supposed to be a great truck, UPS and Fedex are using them. Mileage up to 27 gets quoted. Decent power, not sure how it would do hauling a loader. Cramped seating position for my 6'6" self so I will not be getting one. The seats are much more comfortable than the Isuzu type trucks I have sat in. If your physical size was not an issue, I think this could make an excellent bee truck. New cab/chassis might start around 27K. Engine made by Mercedes.

Dodge says it can only tow around 5000 lbs. It is probably a little to light duty for a beehichle. The fuel economy sounds nice though 27 miles to gallon would be great. I drive a f550 10 miles to the gallon gets old after a while.
