“And, at the end of the day, to have the latest model trucks is not only good for reliability, it provides the versatility to deal with the whole spectrum of jobs we lay claim to.
“Basically, that means towing anything from a motor bike or car to a fork-lift or Bobcat right up to your four ton truck,” he added.
