Can't agree or disagree, although I suppose it could represent a "technical". Normally those were Toyota helix models though.

The vehicle is quite old for a DND commercial light truck. The DND has a policy of releasing trucks within 4 years and a certain mileage if I recall correctly...same for the autos. There is a far better return for the dollar, and a far lower overall maintenance cost. There were reports stating that units who thought they were saving anything by keeping the commercial vehicles for a year or two longer were actually costing the system. So to see a 12/13 year old vehicle for sale with a craptastic paint-job really defies the fleet policy.
