We couldn’t resist grabbing this gem for the club when we were down in Raetihi recently, and by the time you read this, she’ll be so close to the golden mark as to make no odds.

New to Total Transport in Taupo in 2005, the K104 certainly saw her fair share of the North Island, servicing the famous green fleet’s timber and rural cartage requirements.

Packing that bullet-proof combo of Cummins Gen 2 Signature, 18-speed Roadranger, and Meritor 46-160 rears on AG460 suspension, today she’s on the go-line at Lilburn Transport in Raetihi, still working in timber and rural cartage, still plying the highways and byways of the central North Island.

“I just love it, eh,” laughs Robbie Lilburn. “It’s such a cool truck to drive.”
