Hi
A fellow w/c has been running around in a warrior
with a IBC in the back,
He got pulled and had to go to the weigh bridge and was found to be over weight
not as the whole vehicle but on the back axle
he was done ,  :'( so check the axle weight

I use a Ford Ranger Double cab and have a 2 man 650L system fitted.  It takes the weight fine but the tank is custom made and only just fits.  I have to put my poles on the roof.  It drinks diesel like its going out of fashion.

All in all I'd say get a separate van and car.  I got the truck as I thought it would be a good all in one but after 5 months I got a car to run as well as it's cheaper, and now wish that I'd got a van in the first place.

Does look good though and people recognize it.
