A lot of the road maintenance companies ditch the front, belly and wing plows during the summer and run them as dump trucks (the bigger tandem and tridrive trucks, not so sure about the smaller ones). Some will actually pull the box off as well and pull belly dumps or end dumps for construction work too. I've even seen a few that have water tanks that slip inside and get chained to the dump box.
Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

This is a Sprinter truck, possibly a tipper. The crane is optional of course:
These things are much cheaper of course, and you can mount a snow plough:

In winter they attach a snowplow and put on a gritter/salt spreader. Very common in the more rural areas, not so much on the main highways.

In europe 2.4 - 2.6 is pretty common for long distance trucks, some even lower. Also depends on tire size of course.
Your tires are probably a bit taller. Engine revolutions per mile is very similar. -
Spriter is 25-30% more expensive as big van and even like 40% more expensive as small van than competition.
However if you are looking for serious product than there is no alternative as new crafter is no longer as good as it used to be....
For price of sprinter you can buy cheaper brand 7.5 ton truckOxbow Thanks this.
