You are indeed correct, may have been for the dual cab variation with 7500KG GVM - mentioned Allison 1000 trans in the reviews.

Took both the Hino 721and Iveco 45c18 small trucks for a test drive today basically they are poles apart the Hino drives like a truck and the Iveco a car ,the iveco was very nice ,not sure now each would go with 200k on them.There is also a van option with the daily I am thinking about ,just as much payload and area as the truck with lower loading just no side loading like a truck .

Umm...
I've kind of lost track of exactly WTAF you're after,
But you initially mentioned something about towing????

Forget about towing with an unladen truck, unless your whole plan is to wind up on compo.

Trucks are generally **** for towing anyway, but will get the job done provided you have enough weight on the rear axle(s).
I can't say for sure how much difference an (empty) van body makes, but at least that is some weight.
