Changan Kaicene F70 pickup truck. Pure Chinese built and not for sale in Europe or anywhere right hand drive. So not even Australia, India or NZ apparently. They may sell well in North and Mid Africa, especially in former French colonies.

Can you still get a commercial disco ?

Yes, we were lent one when our Disco 4 was in for a service. Very nice but I didn't ask the price!

 

[Hilly]

Find it hard to believe there's not enough Isuzus for them to be placed?
Every 2nd pickup you see is an Isuzu around here

Good dealer in your area ? Hardly see one over here .

I’ve just found two one with over 100k for 25 k and another fairly new for 60k ! To expensive for me .

Disco commercial can’t even fit a cubic metre IBC, a 600kg bag of fertiliser or a big bale or anything similar in the back. That may seem obvious and might not matter to people who fit a canopy on a pickup’s bed anyway, but it is worth pointing out none the less.

Yes, I neither need nor want anything more than 25k s worth so they are out the question this time . I need 4x4 , 5 seats , 3t towing and commercial , not exactly spoilt for choice .

Lloyd's are selling them out front of their New Holland dealership in Dumfries...
They're used to farm trucks and working clothes so don't mind. That's maybe what sells them as many

So the answer is for Toyota to sell their Tundra in the UK. I would think towing should be relatively straight forward with a 5.7 litre V8. Prices start at about 33,000 USD.

Was thinking the same loads around here and certainly far more than amorak ones

 

[Bill dog]

They are very popular in Ayrshire, but hardly see one in the borders . @Hilly , any idea of Isuzu dealers over here?
Border Toyota is about 20 mins south of me, and seem to shift a lot of pick ups .

Hateful places .
