Bedford Vehicles TL
The Bedford TL is a truck manufactured by Bedford. Launched in June 1980, the TL was intended to complement the Bedford TK, on which it was heavily based. One of the main advantages of the TL over the TK was the incorporation of a tilt cab, improving maintenance. A tilt cab was a feature of the TK's main competitor, the Ford D series, and had long been seen as a major advantage. Production began in April 1980, to allow trucks to reach dealers for the premiere. The TL was taken out of production with Bedford's demise in 1986, but production recommenced in 1988 with new owners AWD. The range expanded to include various derivatives before production ceased in 1992 when AWD was placed in receivership.
