work has been building up steadily and my itch to get a 4x4 crew cab is getting worse. I think I've sold the idea to the missus, enough seats for us and the two little ones, get a canopy and the shopping can go in the back, good visibility etc. It doesn't actually need to be practical as we'll still have the estate, budget is tight though, so i'm thinking of an older motor like a mk1 ranger/b2500 or an early L200 that I can build an arb truck/promo vehicle to fart around in, suspension jack, external roll cage, etc. Basically I just want a pickup but would like one that actually does what it says on the tin, and have seen a few early Navaros inside my budget but have heard they aren't the best crew cab on the market, in fact a couple of people I know have had real bad luck with them, anyone have experience of using a crew cab pickup as a work vehicle and occasional family wagon?

If you find a good one, there rare, but some truck. The new v6 seems good on paper and hopefully removes the engine fiasco.

I know several lads that had them but only for a year. Funny they moved into discos or land cruisers?

Ford ranger /Mazda is supposed to be very well built and economical, but nowhere the power of the larger motors.

 

Plenty of choice!

Good school run motor if you don't drive in high heal shoes, they are not built or aimed at true sharp end comercial work.

 

If you want a work motor the choices are getting more limited, as so many pickups are targeting the leafy suburb client.

If your anywhere near London check it fits into the Lez zone.

 

Think any truck before 05 doesn't go in.

 

I thinks it's only Pickups that are pre 2002 (either no modification) that are an issue (all makes and models). 2002 onwards is ok as long as it's under 3499kg.
