Budget 4x4

[jjm]

Looking for a very basic 4x4 farm truck for approx £6k. It occasionally will have to pull 3 tonne and not cost a fortune to insure for two young employees. Any ideas?!.

The two young drivers will kill it ,,insurance for them if under 25 will be high ,will they be main drivers or named and do they have insurance on a vehicle of their own

Know of a nice diatsu in good order , local to here , £1500 pm your number and will whatsapp you his details , he has retired from farming and is slowly selling off his stuff ,

Both have insurance on their own vehicles. I need to provide a vehicle for them for day to day work requirements between farms. This sometimes requires a trailer to be towed.

Which 4x4s pull 3 tonne sensibly? That must rule out of a lot of things surely.

I have had a couple of seven seat Nissan terranos insured with the Nfu as any driver any age.
my children found that quite useful whenever their own vehicle broke down.
they are cheap, economical and reliable.
they have a hi low gearbox and tow well although I can’t remember what they are rated to tow.

In the last 20 years I can only remember getting stuck once and that was in a swamp where even a tractor would struggle.

Has it got to be a pickup? What about a Toyota land cruiser 4cyl type?
