What about this pickup!?

are they that much lower than the other makes? none of them are exactly high off the ground. i wouldnt really be comfortable taking any modern pickup anywhere further than flattish muddy fields or corrugated tracks. anything worse than that is defender/patrol/landcruiser territory, unless you have a modded pickup

i noticed this when i had to use a jack to change the engine oil on my hilux, rather than just crawling under it like you can with my landcruiser, even if you are as fat as me
I could not believe how low it was... then jumped up into my Ranger :)

My take was that it might make a comfy, smart tow truck. The Dealer seemed to suggest it was not the best famers truck.

I felt some good mudplugger tyres would make a difference, and maybe give a bit more clearance...?

I like the way they write those flyers.. Special available pickups on offer for existing loyal customers available before they open them for offer to the rest of the public bla bla bon fire material.

Yeah it came with a very nice letter saying that as a valued customer I was getting first nod on this deal, the fact that my only previous dealing with them was when I fetched my old 56’ l200 in for a recall issue, but it did look a good deal if someone was interested in a musso
