i never have seen a one ton toyota.

The 1 tons are and were used on the
motor homes they put out. I have not
seen one without yet. It would be a
decent little truck though.

My friends used to have a toyota 1 ton truck. It was a nice little truck. It just seems too little.

Ford?
Chevy?
Dodge?
C'mon guys, let's talk TRUCKS!

Haha. Ya thats a truck alright. I would hate to lift a hive to the back of that. My 450 is to tall as it is.

Hey Para
A unimog has been on my list for several years now too. I don't see that they would be much use for moving hives, but up where you are I can think of all kinds of other things you could do with it. I have looked at several 404s, but that would require a diesel transplant. I would like to get a 406, but those are out of my price range. The cheapest route is to import from Europe. I can get a good 406 for less than 8000.00 U.S. plus 1500.00 shipping into any east coast port.

The bed alone is worth $4000.00 .

[Sundance]

Sure wish my lift gate would fold like that
one. Mine comes right up like a end gate and
really grabs the wind!! So much so that I am
going to remove it this spring and sell it
off. They are heavy too.

I saw a 2004 Ford 450 with a longer bed than
this one go for $8500 at auction last spring.
If it wouldn't have been the V10 I'd have bid
on that one. The guy that won it was shocked
he'd only paid that. I was too.

I would hate to put gas in that one also but if it went for 8000 I think I could live with it, going to wait and see what it looks like the last few hours....., looks like it would be a nice bee truck for small timers like me.....


but if you are looking to carry more hives take a look at this one
