Why are the wheels so small on the trial vehicle?

Wouldn't be much good on anything but road surface?

They are wider than a normal light truck tyre. They work quite well

The 1.4 is such a nice truck to go out on.

It's a nice ride on the road, It's not a pain in the arse to keep climbing in and out of like a 3.4 / 4.4 and the extra 500L of water is always handy.

Only reason you havent seen any red V8 light tankers was that last years build program was still being run through (with all the 6 cyl cab chassis already being purchased).

Yes, Hands down!
I'd rather a fleet of 1.4's then LT's!

Big problem in vollie land here though.. you cant drive a 1.4 on a Car Licence.. A Landcruiser will still go places a 1.4 cant.. (compare the size!)

I am a fan of Light Tankers, and think they could be better utilised in other states.

However, in NSW and Vic, even SA, there is a much higher ratio of trucks to car size vehicles, and I don't see a big problem with that. It really isn't that hard to get a truck license.

My opinion, if you can't get a truck license, you shouldn't be driving an emergency vehicle.

Lucky you're not running our Police, Ambulance or Fire Services then
