advice on truck please

[frets1]

hi all

I have to replace my beloved 96 hilux tipper after 238,000 miles.

not because its broken, but my two little sprogs mean I need a extra, space, club etc cab.

I have looked at a 08 l200 with 58000 on. some history.

I know threads have been done and I have goggled faults, reviews etc. but time is ticking and my head is a mess

owners or users please give your pennys worth.

are all modern pick ups pretty much the same? just luck if you get a good or bad one, I have been lucky with mine.

any input gratefully received.

You may of answered your own question. I would look for a hilux double cab possibly a mk5 . Just my opinion but the rest cant touch them

We've got a 57 ranger, 04 Nissan, 62 hilux, 12 hilux, and a new L200. Anything is prone to break. Our last Nissan did 160k+ until it hit something hard. great tool. Ranger is good to drive. Hiluxs are good, Mitsy is OK but I'm comparing with my Shogun so a bit biased.

Just get one and hope.

If you fancy a club cab, before you get one make sure you can actually fit the kid seats in the back, those bench seats are small.

 

Also, you'll need one with 'suicide' doors. I'm pretty sure the Ranger and Nav have them, and Hilux and L200 are accessed by flipping forward the front seats.

Mull I'm pretty sure that shot was taken at Dover, where the driver denied knowing that Romanian dude was hiding in the back....
