if it was not called vortex.
How much would you spend on a truck mount that did the same?
How much in parts and labor have you spent on your 3/4 ton van with a 100,000 on the clock.
Now dont bs me i have family in the auto business....
My dad has customers with a half million miles on the cab overs...

Jim's a smart guy; the fad is over; costs didn't pencil out; wanted a smaller truck with more usable space; saw the handwriting on the wall; getting out while there is still some value... Sorry about being flippant if the Vortex is your USP.
PS: The construction of the cab kills Japanese trucks long before the driveline is through, but at least the Soviet style cab of the UD doesn't have any fancy pieces to fall off.

That's just the way Jim rolls
anyone that could actually utilize the capacity of a V, Jim's would be the one to buy

Nope, not for sale. These trucks are going to be with me for a while. We have been running them everyday lately. Tomorrow they go to UD dealership for their annual checkup.

Everything has a right price, but they make more money than they cost. 8)

The diesel pto platform would be more intriguing to me than the dual wand-ability. I'm feeling for my pto-van right now in this heat running all day...

Due to health issues Jim is getting OFF the truck ASAP.
I'm betting he is gonna run two slide in cargo vans.

Yep it's a bad mofo.
My guys have a whole new respect for it, last month we had 600ft of hose on it, smokin hot and plenty of power still. Ran for 8 hours straight in the high 90's without a hiccup!
With the slow death of the Vortex, I predict an new generation of these types of machines will be the new trend. :?:
