4x4 truck dealers

[Sleepeasy]

Anyone recommend any good places to buy a truck. Looking at swapping mine. Location not as important as the service received. Looking for a Hilux ideally

Probably best to get a new Mitsubishi Triton, by far the best value 4x4 ute currently on the market, better than current Hilux, and Isuzu D Max/Mazda BT50 and without the potential issues of the Landrover inspired Ford/VW 3.0 V6, and nor is the Ford/VW worth the premium that could be used to go to Vegas.
Not sure if South Auckland as a location for purchase is inconvenient....

err, if looking for a 4 x 4 / Hilux ?

how about trying a Toyota dealer ?


if looking for a “truck”, how about a Mack or Kenworth dealer ?

If you're looking 2nd hand, try www.geraintjones4x4.co.uk

Based in Carmarthen (so the accent will be funny) and may be getting excited about Royal Welsh Show but they offer a range of vehicles and prices

They have a range of Pickups of all brands and ages
Have some Hilux, of all ages from nearly new onwards
Great old school business, rooted in agriculture and without BS
Bought from Richard before and service was great

I’d avoid a Hilux, the brakes failed on mine last week, leading to an emergency handbrake stop with two kids in the back. I’ve never been so disappointed in a vehicle. Back to Ford for me.

To be fair the entry level full sized pick up trucks (North America) are fairly shít, actually quite slow, dodgy engines and lucky dip transmissions, if you get the GMC you really need the 6.6 Duramax, the Ram with the 6.7 Cummins (not the 3.0 Ecodiesel..).and the Ford needs the Powerstroke if your going to do anything seriously.
As for the tub/ deck there near useless compared to a flat deck.

Could happen to any brand
Depends on the reason for the failure ?
Was it a design fault or maintenance issue ?

It’s never been out of the garage in the 1.5 years I’ve had it, never ending warranty issues so maintenance definitely isn’t the issue. The rear line was severed by something, it runs along the rear of the rear diff and is pretty exposed to stones or sticks which is I suspect what happened in this case.

The brakes are just the final straw. The Hilux is garbage, as I say, never been as unimpressed by supposedly bomb proof vehicle. Build quality is akin to 1970s British Leyland.

Understood and your story is a sad tale of mechanical gremlins & faults
However severing a brake line must have been been caused by external damage (running over something)

I’ve just ordered a new grenadier from Loyd all road in Carlisle….

Good deal, 50% upfront and the rest on 0% finance, commercial two seater so can claim the VAT back and also commercial benefit in kind. Big brain?

Try Robin Ward, Loughburgh, only deals in used hiluxes.

Western Toyota

SPA Motors in Brecon,Llandrindod Wells and Hereford.
I have recently bought a Ford Ranger Wildtrack auto off them and so far so good.They have a good selection of nearly new pick ups from most of the Brands.
If you're looking for new then I would suggest Autotrader.

Western Toyota (Roger Wilson) was brilliant at sourcing me a Hilux in 4 weeks last year, when the waiting list was still around 12 months.

After-sales service however is absolutely atrocious!
