    Wet feet in pick up

    Drove through a ford today and got wet feet in my 2016 Toyota Hilux. It's done 172,000 miles and does look like it. The problem is it runs fine and is to a reasonable specific, I bought it new for £27,000 as an end of line model. It is though getting tired and worried its going to get a big...

    Crew cab pickups to be taxed as cars from July

    Just seen on twitter that HMRC are to re classify crew cabs as cars for employees. As a Ltd Co. reckon it's back to pickups and wee vans. However the cost of them will maybe have stifled demand as it is. Best get the wax oil out and look after my current Hilux...

    Spray on load liner

    Currently getting some quotes to change the pick-up :nailbiting: One of the quotes has come back with spray-on bed liner, rather than a plastic tub. Anyone with experience of this? Is it as good as they claim? How does it compare to the tub insert?

    Tightening margins

    We are forever being told to price things and shop around to try and run our business more cost effectively but these salesmen don't seem to like it when people try something different and they might lose a sale. They will have to get back to their bosses and sharpen their pencil, but then I...

    New / nearly new pickup

    It must have been a good few weeks since we last had a pick up thread... 😅 Company vehicle, not farm work, occasional towing and off road but mostly used as a car. Hilux probably top of my list, but even up to 2 years old / up to 20,000 miles they seem to demand such strong money it makes the...

    Ranger what to look for

    Recently been looking at navaras to replace a dmax and I simply don't like them and I've heard enough bad reports of problems. Now considering a ranger... Will be a 2019 at oldest.

I’m in the market for something and wondering whether to leave it 6 months...
