Iveco Cargo – register of the former Ford Cargo: from 8 to 12 tonnes, Trekker four-wheel-drive off-road variants, four- and six-cylinder engines of 4.5 to 6.7 litres, gross weights from 7,490 to 11,990 kg
Iveco Cargo covers in this register the Ford Cargo, introduced by Ford in 1981, whose European commercial-vehicle business passed to Fiat's truck division Iveco in 1986; the truck continued as the Iveco Ford Cargo and later the Iveco Cargo. In the type designation the first number gives the gross-weight class in tonnes and the second the engine output in steps of ten horsepower, so 120 E 18 stands for 12 tonnes and roughly 180 hp. The Trekker designation marks the off-road four-wheel-drive version of the Cargo with a reinforced chassis, used for fire-service and municipal bodies.

The register lists 6 versions from four- and six-cylinder engines of 4,485 to 6,728 cc. Kerb weights range from 3,540 to 7,650 kg, gross vehicle weights from 7,490 to 11,990 kg. Lengths run from 5,350 to 10,100 mm, widths from 2,180 to 2,550 mm.
In this weight class the Cargo occupied the same niche as the Mercedes-Benz 800/900 series and the MAN L2000; the Trekker four-wheel-drive versions were mainly used as a base for fire engines and military and rescue bodies in Britain and other European countries.
On a used example, checks should cover corrosion on the frame and cab floor, the condition of the clutch and manual gearbox, on Trekker versions the transfer case and axle differentials, and brakes and suspension; engine spares run through the Iveco network, while supply of body parts can be more limited depending on the version.

What to check before buying
