Why not new engine out of interest?

Try York Van Centre they have 3, at £20,114 plus vat, are you like me and dubious about the 1.9 engine,
The new model has been launched in the Far East and Australian but with the 2.8 diesel, put money on it they're be launched here after every one has bought 1.9 lit version,
Surely if we are coming out of Europe we don't have to comply with euro emissions directive, and able to buy what size engine we like, it's not as though it would be any more polluting than a Q7 or Range Rover, ?????

 

[grainboy]

Also why not try the Hilux, have managed to get best quote for an Active Extra Cab, TSS, which gives you Cruise, Alloys, Metallic paint, Load Liner, 13 Pin Tow Bar, all for £20K plus vat.

The Thought Police are already all over that one, Brexit or No Brexit. Don't solve congestion or urban car use just fine or ban people with diesels

Would rather have the 2.5 as I plan to keep it till it dies and think the 2.5 will outlive the 1.9. Prefer izuzu over hilux as I cart a lot of small bales and the height is lower hence extended cab rather than double

 

[grainboy]

Sorry JP you don't get my point, why can't I have a Isuzu 2.8 diesel, when there are a lot worse pollutants vehicles about.
At least mine is working, earning a living, rather than
taking the children to school in Chelsea.
I think it's beyond trying to reduce vehicle numbers, to save the world !!!
we are all guilty of polluting the environment around us.
It's called progress and modern living,
Perhaps the Conservatives shouldn't have sold our souls in the 80s, kept manufacturing here and prevent massive imports from around the world,
Think we need to look at the bigger picture, before we start penalising small business.

Understand what your saying O

I understand what your reasons are, as I use mine for logs in the winter.
I thought my 14 reg would be my last truck. But 25000 miles a year. Soon adds up, I find at 3 yrs it hadn't cost me anything other than service and tyres, monthly payments are possibly cheaper than running a 100,000 mile truck. So therefore I am looking again,
Started with a Toyota in 79, thought it might be nice to finish with one, as I too am to apprehensive about the 1.9 Isuzu.

I don't think you get mine ..... I'm agreeing with you but the Thought Police are already filling the airwaves and the argument instead of dealing with the root causes of urban "pollution"

Did you buy one then @grainboy ?

 

[grainboy]

Can't make my mind up, dubious MPG figures banded for Toyota, new 1.9 engine in Isuzu, is it capable ?, but the one thing is load area height, Isuzu is lower so, loading / unloading, doesn't end up damaging truck.
Biggest problem with Toyota is the 5 month wait for one with TSS,

 

[nick...]

Had this mpg today at 50/60 mph.pity about the wait for toyota's but think most pick ups are the same

Been thinking about a new pickup myself, I like the look of the Isuzu, always been a Toyota man before
