[QUOTE="Kidds, post: 8034069, member: 5589"] There certainly was an issue with corrosion but as I said it's not something you can't pre-empt and fix before it is an issue. All pickups seem to have an issue, Rangers blew loads of engines due to oil pump, Toyotas use a lot of fuel etc. At your budget you are only going to get a quite old truck and if it has made it that far it will probably be OK. I don't think any of them are perfect, they all have some sort of fault or failure and they are really a mish mash of good and bad bits. I like my Navara but I won't pretend it is the be all and end all and I very much doubt any of them are. The tub on a 4x4 pickup has to be one of the daftest designs out there. How are you supposed to reach anything if you can't drop the sides. Only the tailgate drops and that only goes down level with the floor so you have to stand 3 feet away so still can't reach anything. If it dropped down vertically it would be a start but they put a feckin big bumper in the way of that happening. You are much better off with a Disco type vehicle where you can actually get at what is inside and/or a trailer. [/QUOTE]
