What used pickup?

I'm sure this topic has been discussed many a time but I'm afraid I'm here to post again...

I'm looking at buying a truck, the options I'm considering are;

(All around the 2010 age)

- Ford Ranger
-Mitsubishi L200
-Toyota Hilux
-Nissan Navara

I understand there will be many opinions of them all but I should get a picture of what the general feelings are.

Thanks in advance.
 
I never bother inputting to pick up threads these days, but, here’s my tuppence worth:

Navara = apparently likely to snap.
L200 = in my experience, very uncomfortable to drive.
Ranger = ok, but thirsty in my experience.
Isuzu Rodeo = in my experience comfortable, economical, reliable

I'd go along with that too. Also Hilux= low towing capacity and strange seating position.

Stretch to £13500 and I'll sell you my newer T6 2013 Ranger automatic with less than 40,000 miles on the clock. Due for service and MOT at the end of this month when it will be five years old. Only bother been a EGR valve which was changed last Christmas. Serviced at half the recommended service intervals and the diff oil changed at 10,000 miles, just to pamper it. Also chassis been rustproofed with Bilt Hamber fluid and grommets fitted to obvious chassis holes since new to extend working life. Rear tyres at 25%, front 50%+

Here you go, low mileage, bang on budget... Not a million miles away ;-) Got to cross the Severn mind.....

I wonder why it has the two rivets in the front bumper under the headlamp? Its a dead basic older model, which is not a patch on the newer T6. Price is about right or even a bit high for that spec and age. I'd inspect it thoroughly for bumps or previous misuse, considering that those rivets were not there when new.
