Default Re: New Gen Ranger Single Cab

Funnily enough, the boy returned to his former employer recently after handing them back a new Hiace. When he returned, the boss went and brought him a replacement new van as his Hiace had been reassigned to another employee, low n behold, was handed the keys to a new LDV van with 200 Ks on it,
In the 3 months he has had it he has actually asked his boss not to replace it with another new Hiace which is on order, more comfortable, less intrusive electrics and better on diesel.
The boss told him it’s cheaper for him to update the fleet more often with new and fresher LDVs than the cost of the Hiace long term,
This one is their test van so will be the mechanical bunny for my son to try and break,
For them, it’s just a throw away item and there seems to be more and more tradies getting them.
