PH help me please. 4wd pickup advice :)

[kiwifraser]

I know I change my vehicle every 6 months, but this time its for something different... but still around the £2k mark

Hilux?, L200?, Navara?, Ranger?, or something different?

ETA: Needs to be a double cab.

can you get one for that low money ?

if you can it will be old and very used

[kiwifraser]

Yes, and I'm looking for a 3rd car here 2k can get something high mileage that might just last the winter. This is PH, we can find something!

Driven all 3, Nissan Navara is the best of the lot.

[Spanna]

Is a pick-up necessary? Plenty of very good, big 4x4s out there at this budget.

[kiwifraser]

Pickup has always been on the 'bucket list', but would would consider something like a shogun sport as a compromise. I did the big 4x4 LR disco thing last year, so don't want another one of those.

More Shot than Shed at £2k though...........

I'm thinking of the fun factor until it dies here

Another one off the list is what really matters

[kiwifraser]

I'm surprised. It appears the PHers don't have much of an opinion on pickup trucks

[Snowboy]

I've always like the hilux.
You can probably get one for that money.

5000 Middle Eastern rebels with A47s can't all be wrong.

[kiwifraser]

I do like the Hilux. back to the classifieds...

Swerni, Why are the L200's so bad compared to the others?

What about the Ford Ranger?

Massive load space, being able to squeeze the road from leicester to peterborough in the back.

[kiwifraser]

The first one above has sold.

maybe not. The ones I have driven have all been newish.

Mazda BT50 it's a Ranger in disguise but much less loved due to scene tax on Rangers. So it'll be cheaper.
I'd go HiLux though.

[kiwifraser]

Thank you. I'l have a look at the BT50.

I'm still trying to find out what is so bad about the L200's.

I have a 77 LWB F100 ute with a 351 clevo in it.

Only cost $2k and is rather comfy. Mine is on LPG so only 50c per litre to fill up. Do they have them in England?

If they are that old across here they are usually well loved and cared for classics. Newer F100s have to be imported iirc. Even LPG across here is getting quite expensive these days at around 75p a litre
