Hi everyone, I am a potential owner of an L400. I am just wondering if anyone can shed some light on how strong the automatic gear boxes are in these trucks? Should I be looking for a Manual? And if so...do the Delicas with the Spacegear crystal lite sun Roofs come in Manual? Thanks for your time...I hope to get lots of info from the site and be able to add lots myself in the future!

Hi Rich, welcome to the club.
I don't know a lot about the L-400, myself ~ however, there are L-400 owners in the club who could probably shed some light with their driving experiences. Also, contact "CVI" (604) 247 0500 ~ they should be able to help you. Ask for Butch.

finding manual transmission delicas is difficult, especially in the higher spec models (I think a discussion we had recently came to the conclusion that you simply won't find a manual transmission on a long wheel base L400, and likely not on one with the crystal lite roof (though I may be wrong on that part))
In general the automatics are considered every bit as reliable as the manuals, if not more so.
