£650 for delivery , £600 for metallic paint unless you go for basic white it all adds up

^this. I thought it was common knowledge that you MUST replace them at around 60k on the older L200's.
Priced up a defender 90 just for fun the other night, didn’t sound too bad at £35800 but that was white so another £900 for paint, crap metal wheels so getting on for a grand for alloys, extra for decent tyres, £600 for tow bar, £300 for mudflaps etc, lost interest in the end

Roll top if you want a more useable truck
and sports bars if you want to glam it up abit.
£1650 before discount.
nope, delivery included in that price. if you are gonna pay £600 for paint then clearly you arent really looking for a good value work truck, and all makes charge the same anyway so doesnt make any odds
linex is good but not worth it against a £100 drop in bed liner, which can be easily replaced whenever its worn out.
perhaps it is, still a good deal compared to any other make though

Is it not supposed to be a loyalty reward? As such, it's far from pointless if you are a member.

I use the roll top everytime I use the truck ,I wouldn't buy one without .
Auto box would be standard selection for most.

have you had a quote regards delivery ?
you are gonna have to pay the same for it whatever truck you buy so it doesnt make any difference to anything

When I got my 13 plate L200, the service history said the timing belt had been replaced at just under 30K. Don't know if that was out of necessity or obsessive caution. Presumably that means another change around 80-90K-plus?^this. I thought it was common knowledge that you MUST replace them at around 60k on the older L200's.
yes, hiluxs only in white as standard, can have a landcruiser commercial 2.8 in white or black as standard (not much dearer than a hilux), but not 3.5t towing so kind of rules it out for me as the main tow vehicle. might be tempted when i eventually replace my 2nd vehicle though.

Consider one thing about the nfu discount though, who pays it? You walk in the dealer as a farmer and they instantly realise so keep the price up to please you when you get the discount. Whereas Joe public gets a good price to begin withI was talking about becoming a member just to get the discount.
♂This has been done to death on here already, discount is off RRP not dealer quote, yes you might be able to match it (or maybe not) if you aren't nfu, blah blah blah, still a decent price.Consider one thing about the nfu discount though, who pays it?

Without searching, what is the discount amount and the average membership payment? .. just thinking if all members bought a new pickup next month if the NFU would be bankrupt?

That's kinda my point above though, do you really think the manufacturer or dealer gets 2k or whatever it might be off the nfu to cover the extra discount you're given as a member? If they do then somewhere along the line the nfu must be getting it back somewhere.
