al4x Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 How far is your journey to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootgun Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 How far is your journey to work? 3 and a half miles first leg, than another 6 miles or so... short journeys really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JABB Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Petrol then. Will cost more to day to day run but with the trips you are doing, a diesel will bung up a dpf like its going out of fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 3 and a half miles first leg, than another 6 miles or so... short journeys really... you can have whatever you want then, work out what size 4x4 you want and go from there.

malkiserow Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 A question I have to repeatedly ask myself is..... "do I really NEED a 4x4 or do I just WANT one for a tiny bit of off road work?" I presume the first 3 miles is for the Mrs or kids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a shooter/hunter and it might come in handy... i cannot a justify keeping 3 cars on the drive, as we've got 2 already, so i thougt a medium size 4x4 will fit the bill... The firs 3 miles is work as well, the other half got her own car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rimotu66 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Of course you NEED a 4x4, all shooters drive them don't they ? With your budget which I am jealous of you have a massive range to choose from, personally I would go down the Hilux route, don't worry about the dpf problem, all you need to do is give it a good run once a week, or have it removed Edited February 23, 2014 by rimotu66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
