PPP Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Inner redneck won’t be repressed and is demanding I buy a truck, which of the current crop is best? Needs to be as car like as poss and ideally not too slow, fuel economy and polar bears not a concern, thanks.

The Burpster Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Haven’t tried the Mercedes or the Fiat but of all the rest we decided to buy the L200. I suggest you try as many as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness I looked at a Navarro 2 years ago but the dealer was a muppet so i gave up, didn’t try others, I could do with a shortlist, there are loads now!

kennett Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hilux or Dmax. You do pay a premium for a Hilux but they are bomb proof and have a very good resale value. Most of the others are just the same body shell with a different badge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPP Posted October 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Purely as a passenger, whilst deer stalking (also known as wandering around being charged 140 for the privilidge) the hilyx seemed nice 21 hours ago, ninjaferret said: LANDCRUISER AMAZON I've had them all and none beat the Amazon Good call if only they did v8 in uk, standard oil burner is terrifyingly under powerred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjaferret Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Good call if only they did v8 in uk, standard oil burner is terrifyingly under powerred Have you had one? more than enough power from the straight 6 and will go where all the others won't, with ease and comfort Had mine on a shoot one day and it went where a defender couldn't get and back.

dazb1967 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Toyota Hilux I'm on my second one now and love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpy22 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 i work in the motor trade which i dont normally tell anyone as i have no interest in cars unless they go across the field with my gear in. i have had a ranger for 7 years which has been virtually faultless. two of my mates have hiluxs which seem to be bullet proof and very capable . i would steer well clear of l200 and navara. but the amorak would get my vote now. if you want something to waste money on get a land rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegasus bridge Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hilux gets my vote, I’ve got the invincible x fully loaded and very pleasant to drive on the road too, even long distances, only thing I would change if it was just for shooting In would be the tyres 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
