[QUOTE="McFeely, post: 2137887, member: 60776"] I don't mind the Isuzu Reach for an in-town route, but my station had me in one on a rural route with tons of dirt roads. That truck is by far the most beat up truck in the station. The washboard roads, mud, potholes, etc. have made that particular truck one of the highest-maintenance-needed trucks in the station. Even with all doors and windows shut on the dirt roads, you'd finish the route with a big layer of dust on every package. As for in-town routes, they work fine for the most part. Pretty much NO power steering at idle (like cranking the wheel for a u-turn before the accelerator) and no real noticeable power from the engine at all. In town, the lack of turbo isn't a [I]huge[/I] deal, but it is a huge safety problem when trying to cross a 4-lane highway with no traffic signals. The Sprinters we have are great at some things and awful at others. Same goes for the Chevy vans we have. I just wish I could have an old W700 again. [/QUOTE]
