    ^ Very unstable and mga ganyan. If the rear cargohold is wide, why not just go for a wide body cab and chassis as well? My guess is they do that do avoid the truck ban (narrow chassis with 4-wheels vs. wide chassis with 6 wheels).

    Partly yes. The truck ban affects six wheelers and bigger trucks. Four wheeler trucks are just affected by the traffic coding. If you have to run a business, you will have to be creative with the stupid laws in the country.

    Yup you have to be creative. Good thing in Metro Manila the truck ban is consistent that a truck has to weigh 4500 kgs or more to be affected by the ban.

    In Batangas, there is a town that implements a truck ban that affects delivery trucks weighing 3800 kgs or more regardless of the number of wheels. Was surprised when our truck was apprehended bec it was a 4 wheel local mitsu canter weighing 4200 kgs. tried to contest but found out that it is a local ordinance or something to that effect. So we now use L300 vans for deliveries to that town.

    Truck ban daw. Not overload. The truck's registration papers shows gross vehicle weight of 4200 so its in violation of their local truck ban ordinance. The GVW is also printed on the side of the truck.

    But given the light duty design of L300, wouldn't the L300 need more maintenance when used as a daily delivery truck?

    Not really we've been using them for a few years and they are quite tough. Anyway, our loads are not really heavy, just bulky. Dont think we load 1000 kgs on them. For heavy loads, we use 4 wheel and 6 wheel Canters and Isuzu trucks.

    They actually store these vans in a warehouse in Malabon Acacia. JT Plastics.

Wide Delivery Van. Legal ba?
