Hi,
Love to read the different posts here! The amount of knowledge available here is amazing.
Previously I did post my interested in a DOKA offroad truck/chassis to accommodate my 3 kids, wife and myself. @ that time a Unimog was still high on the wish list. Things cooled down after this thread and the unimog is a no go.
It must be a cheaper option, with enough power to propel us to 90 km/h in most circumstances and a descend comfort level in the cab. Offroad capabilities are not of first importance.
For the moment I'm in doubt if I need to consider a Mercedes 1113 with 168 hp? Is that a good vehicule with above spec's? Fact that it has been build from 1963 to the 90's does say something no?
Less sexy, a mercedes 1019 has been equipped with more horses, bigger engine and is more modern: better?
Magirusz has many option available as well: from 90 hp to 232?
I have been looking for Star, Jelcz and other military trucks. Few are for sale.
Fact is that with actual budget for the chassis only older trucks are on the list.
Someone a good idea?
