Single cab pickup

[sherg]

Looking for a new or nearly new 4x4 single cab, it will be towing but 3.5 ton isnt really a necessity does anyone have any recommendations or anything to avoid (any really good deals would also be helpful)
thankyou all in advance

Things are slow on here recently, so I'll go first

Defender 90 truck cab or Isuzu

Not a Hilux

Need to get the quad in the back that's one of the main reasons I want a single cab and this may be controversial but I hate driving landrovers, I was thinking probably a dmax would be the one to go for

I've been looking, I wonder if they'll be some good deals coming up in the ranger as there's a new coming out, also there's a new hilux, which I think will tow 3.5t

Isuzu are bringing out a new dmax as well maybe I should be waiting until later in the year http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/isuzu/d-max/93426/facelifted-isuzu-d-max-pick-up-coming-in-2016

Any one of them will do. As a single cab pickup, get the cheapest you can find within reason, because its resale value will be crap. The used market doesn't want plain single cabs, it wants mid and high end double cabs, not even king cabs.

They wanted £15k for a bog standard single cab when I looked

They make land rovers look cheap.

8.5% NFU discount on a new facelift poverty spec 4wd ford ranger. just make sure you take a print out of the discounts to the dealer and don't take no for an answer as they wont always believe you.

13k will buy new l200 with 5 year warranty

Mazda? Ford ranger?

 

[Cowabunga]

Not sure whether Mazda are still selling their pickups in the UK. Its a very long time since I saw a new one, probably back as far as 2010.

Amarok?
What are those Great Wall steeds like @sherg

Don't think either are single cabs and wouldn't fit quad in the back

Last choice but very poor street cred

Cheap to run though. No need for tax, test or insurance and if it needs diesel you just 'borrow' some of that red stuff from a farmer.

Its not a proper transit with out the lenth of pipe tied to the headboard for holding tools etc.

Really it needs to be a single cab to get the bike in the back or I would go for a double cab I've got one at the moment and for what I need its a square peg in a round hole
On a different note how much is nfu membership on sub 200 acres just thinking a further 8% off a 13k mitsubishi looks a cheap vehicle

There is a pic on workshop thread showing a flatbed on pickup with quad across rather than fore and aft
