I am in the market for a used Dump Truck. I will buy new if I don't find anything good in the used market.
I don't need anything bigger then 26,000 GVW (no CDL). I have considered new Ford F350, F450, F550. I will consider any and all used dump trucks in that range that have low mileage and in good condition.
The truck will be used to pull a 9,990 lb trailer (to haul L3800). I also plan to put a snow blade on it and plow commercial lots. Haul salt/anti-skit, move dirt for a small lawn and garden business.
I am wondering if I should insist on 4x4 for snow plowing or if some ballast in the back will be enough.
Any opinions, suggestions, leads are very much appreciated.
Thanks
