[QUOTE="Spud, post: 6691747, member: 78"] We have an 05 L200 as the farm truck - cheap and reliable enough, uncomfortable as hell and drinks like a fish. Does 4-5000miles a year, used and abused by all. It replaced an 05 Ford Ranger about 18months ago that I had from 5yo. Not quite as uncomfortable as the L200, but every bit as thirsty. Sold to a breaker with a rotten chassis. I have a 2014 DMax, bought summer 2018 with 115,000 miles. Lovely motor, quiet, comfy, reliable, pulls well, at least 50% more mpg than the two mentioned above. It replaced a 2008 Isuzu Rodeo with a chequered history - it'd been clocked before I bought it. Didn't have it that long, it was knackered. Sold for export. Generally we buy them about 5yo, I use them for another 5yrs, then they get handed down to farm truck for another 5, or thereabouts. Depreciation on new pickups is crazy money - I'd rather upgrade a forklift or something. [/QUOTE]
