I have a HD 2000 with 85 K with 14000 GW and Sureme utility box..No problem with the frame..The truck turns on a dime which is great in a urban area.Box sits higher so a lift gate should be a thought..The cab over is great for when time for service . Are you looking at a diesel ?

    Replacing my Chevy cut van

    I want a Hackney box with Chevy / Isuzu chassis but have been told by one dealer that the chassis has been nothing but problems. Truth is my 12,000 gvw box has been nothing but problems and getting worse.

    Any info on the Fuso chassis

    Sprinter is an option but I want something wider.

    Let me know what you think

    Isuzu chassis

    I am just now getting rid of my 99 Isuzu NPR-HD chassis and replacing it with another (a 2007 Isuzu NPR-HD) also with diesel. It has run great for 8 years and 210,000 miles but it now starting to show its age with repairs.

    Overall its been great, 12 1/2 MPG around town, 10 1/2 MPG on the highway (it peg out the governor at 55 MPH) It hawls 11,500 lbs all day long occasionaly more. It has a Stahl utilty body on it

    I made a typo on the top speed of the Isuzu, it will go 77 MPH (thats the governor setting) although with a tail wind or on a downgrad it'l go 80. Most up grades slow it down to about 70 to 72

    box van

    I looked into buying a sprinter chassis w/ an 11ft supreme Frp body. The price was not bad and then you would get the sprinter economy. I had to ask specifically for the 11 ft box so I could get 1/2 sticks of black iron in it. I finally decided to just buy another sprinter 144" van as I needed another service vehicle for now. Good luck, Tim
