Title: Views on FourTrak TDX?
Post by: Marches Farmer on July 04, 2017, 12:10:52 pm

Had a FourTrak for 14 years - just the tiny, no-frills tow truck we need.  Have seen a TDX (the slightly longer one with a bulge at the back and two extra seats I'll never use) with bodywork in much better condition.  Pluses and minuses welcome from anyone who's  had one of these

i just upgraded from a tired TDL to a really tidy (30k miles tidy) TDX. I love it!
Got electric windows, electric 4H transfer switch, air con, brilliant bodywork and chassis
Maximum towing limit (more than most modern pickups), smaller than a pickup, really capable off road but also shifts on tarmac too.
