robbiep Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Best mpg - Navara D40, the 2005-2007 ones, after that they put extra emissions stuff on them, and the economy suffers. Insurance, no idea. I'd expect all of them to be cheaper than a D3 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 You're going to make Al4x so happy :lol: Not really I just find they make the perfect shooting vehicle. The answer to this one though depends a bit on budget, the newer pickups do vary a bit the newer l200's when you get the more powerful engine are 35 plus in real life, rangers you have to buy nearly new for that. Navaras aren't far off or the hilux more is down to the driver. Everyone and their dog will say hilux but it very much depends on budget they don't depreciate fast enough to make a good second hand buy. So really the best advice is shop about and test drive a few and see what takes your fancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrelsniffer Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 It's a shame as the disco when it's all good is one of the best vehicles I've drove, but I seem to have problems after problems so far in past 4 month I've spent almost 2000 on repairs had it 3 yrs and must of put at least 3500 maybe more now into it. Will get 10'000 + for px and could poss add 5 to it so maybe 15 budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic1281 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I had a 57 navara from new, did 65k in it without any trouble and sold it 6 months ago. When test driving at the time, I found the nav felt most like a car to drive and was the most comfortable for long journeys. The hilux felt a lot more like a work horse. I got on average 32.8 mpg from the navara, I believe getting them superchiped has a positive effect on mpg's if not heavy footed. The insurance wasn't too bad, was paying approx £500 fully comp. hope that helps, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forestry Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I drive a 10 plate Navara - mpg 31 average, just renewed my insurance this morning £283 fully comp. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I looked at pick ups myself but what swung it for me was the extra comfort and finish on the Disco because I drive it every day.

guss109 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I drive an 11 plate warrior face lift model and I'm lucky to get 30 to the gallon and drop to 22/23 if pulling a cart but it is 175 horse or so. Not sure if that makes any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos I know you are it's all different cars for different needs, I must say mine is day to day transport with the difference when we've had a good nights foxing it's only the pickup bed that stinks and contains claret. I must resist parking it outside the local lib dem councillors house at that point but always hard. She has never talked to me since catching me unloading a roe buck one evening! That's the main thing with pickups if you have dogs or shoot larger game it sure helps keep the vehicle clean inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
