How practical is a Iveco 4x4 really?

Well
Not much of a comparison really. But still a good review

I come a long way owning 4x4 and 6x6 trucks. One must always remember that everything becomes truck size. Changing a spare like a 37 on the Iveco can be a mission. Suddenly your normal jack becomes a 25t bottle jack to reach jacking points and to get lift. To Check a basic thing like oil you need to get onto the bumper. Even Basic repairs or services becomes time consuming.

Oil capacities on stuff like gearboxes leap 10 to 20 liters. Due to shear height of a 4x4 truck you soon find yourself in a position doing things underneath where you cannot reach stuff by lying down or forcing you in a very uncomfortable sit, kneel position.

Once you are prepared to live with the above and make sure that you have the physical ability to manage to change a spare wheel alone you can give it a go.
You will never find me without Stroh or a 4x4 :D
