What pick up to buy?

[Farmerdunk]

Hi, we have never had a 4x4 pickup, so we though it’s about time to start looking.
Looking for a 3-4 year old. Atm we like the toyota hilux and the Isuzu d max.
We are looking at a hilux with 46k miles, 3 litre auto on a 65 plate and a D max blade with 43k miles manual, on a 64 plate. The Hilux is £500 more. Which one to go for? Or neither!!
Both have sat nav, leather etc. Thanks

In short the replies will be any and none, try a search of threads then you will realise what a waste of time it is asking about pickups. What will be missing is great wall, cheap at 2 years old and 4 years warranty left.

Hilux ... That’s is all

If that is the 6 speed auto then the hilux it is, I would not be keen on 5 speed in this day and age

Hilux every day of the week, had the Isuzu but I found it too highly geared when towing. And the Toyota will hold its money better.

It'll be the 5 speed and nowt wrong with the 5 speed auto, just let the 3 litre torque and power do its thing........unlike the new lower powered 6 speed Hilux auto

I will stick to my 8 speed auto pickup.

There, that's saved us from another awful long pointless thread.

How much are they?
I'd sell you my Ranger Limited 2.2 automatic with full service history, reasonable tyres, under 40k miles, fully valeted and like new for £14500+VAT. No comebacks [I'm not a dealer] but it is working perfectly and recently had a new EGR valve [modified type apparently]. It is 3 years 10 months old.
Leather electric seats with heating, automatic, one down from top of the range and perfectly adequate power output and chassis waxoyled and protected from new [by me]. Service intervals officially 20,000 miles but serviced every 10,000/yearly [happily coinciding] and the rear axle oil changed at 10,000 miles [just because I look after stuff].

Is my asking price in the ballpark? I ask because I am tempted to change in May when its four years old. Will sell this pristine pickup sooner in all probability in order to get a straight deal on a new one.

Defender pick up

Would great Wall be so bad to drive into ground for 10 years?

Do they even import them these days? Here today gone tomorrow, so what’s the chance of getting parts in five year’s time?

 

[Farmer Roy]

Great Walls have had a presence here for at least 5 years or more, still around

What they are like, I have no idea . . .

Do you get the Mahindra Pik Up there ? They starting to push them a bit here. We had Tata Utes here maybe 10 years ago ? They didn't stay in the market for very long
