Only thing I've found with a pickup is it bounces on the back end with a trailer ,,never had it with my old landcruiser ,,if it's because pickups are are so light on the back end I dont know .
What spec of l200 if it has the super select gearbox you can run 4wd all the time which is safer when towing and wet roads etcThanks all,
Generally, you are echoing what I've heard, that the Hilux is at the top of the pile for the right sort of money...
However, I've been offered a 2018 Mitsibushi L200, right milage, tidy, higher spec than what i would have wanted, but seems to be priced right.
Any opinions, good and bad on L200's?
I’m the same but dropping from 400nm of torque to 350 mm is a fair drop for a vehicle that does an awful lot of towing here. Maybe the new model next year will be tuned up a bit higher.I know nobody seems to rate them but I love my DMax 2.5 litre. I need to change it with 80 k on clock but am put off by the 1.9 engine although they all seem to be moving this way.
That’s the conclusion I came to. Not massively keen Ona Navara but will probably end up with one.I’m the same but dropping from 400nm of torque to 350 mm is a fair drop for a vehicle that does an awful lot of towing here. Maybe the new model next year will be tuned up a bit higher.
They will soon have VW badge on them so they will cost more and be very reliable because of it.Personally id be buyin a ranger. Is ford not the no1 pickup manufacturer world wide? (Think i read that somewhere) cant be no1 for no reason
Doubt ford will sell of thier ranger design? If they do theyl introduce the f150 over here which will trump all other brandsThey will soon have VW badge on them so they will cost more and be very reliable because of it.
Have you not heard vw and ford next pickup is a joint venture.Doubt ford will sell of thier ranger design? If they do theyl introduce the f150 over here which will trump all other brands
sadly, we will never see the f150 over here. Its simply not needed, wanted or indeed viable to sell.Doubt ford will sell of thier ranger design? If they do theyl introduce the f150 over here which will trump all other brands
I know, I know! Almost as strongly debated as Forager's v's Wagons...
Im thinking of a new pick up, but as I don't have much experience with them, I thought I'd ask the collective!
Shopping List
I cant justify a proper double cab really, but one of those extra cab versions would suit, I never take more than a single passanger, but it's good to know I can if push came to shove, the back seats are handy to chuck a coat, flask, etc on to as well
4WD
Towing Capability, 3T+
Diesel
Manual
Not too fussed by toys, alloy wheels etc, it is a workhorse, not a show pony
Good Load Area
Load Area Canopy, Lockable ideally, easily removable ideally.
Reasonable MPG
Reliability
What to go for, what to avoid...?
Thank you all!
I have a Titan spec. 2016 manual and I'm very pleased with it.Thanks all,

Jeez I must have a heavy right foot, my Dmax always says 22mpgI have a Titan spec. 2016 manual and I'm very pleased with it.
Local slow speeds engine around the 1500 rev range and it'll return 40 mpg.
At 70+ 35 might.
No never heard that.Have you not heard vw and ford next pickup is a joint venture.
