Better Business – Rethinking waste tyres
especially when I’m running gravel because they are so sturdily mounted there is no vibration.”
Emily finds that the dash layout is well thought out and the dash display menu also has some useful features, like the four trip meters, driver score and digital gauges.
“The trip meter is also handy for our job-costing because I can zero the trip meter at the start of the load, then get a snapshot of the fuel used, average speed, distance covered and idle time at the end of the journey,” she says.
She is also a fan of another feature: “The truck’s light check activation button on the key fob makes checking the lights easy during my prestart. I use it every day.”
Emily says the T410SAR is the first truck she’s driven where she’s been able to open the bonnet by herself. “With the other trucks, I’d have to get my dad to help me open the bonnets because they were that heavy. This T410SAR has an automatic lock on the left-hand bonnet strut that prevents the bonnet from accidentally closing. It’s an excellent safety feature, especially for us here in Tasmania where we often get strong winds that can blow a hood closed.”
According to Emily, the ride and handling of this T410SAR is terrific. “Even on the narrowest rough-country back roads, the steering is precise. The truck goes exactly where I steer it. My partner even commented on how much happier and how much more energy I have when I get home in the evenings since I’ve started driving the T410SAR. That certainly reiterates how the improved ride and handling of this truck make my work so much more pleasurable.”
