They are available over here. And nearer the £30k mark which isn't expensive when you compare with the eq LR. It'll be cheaper to maintain and last forever too so it's a long term investment. That's RHD aswell. Was a co on here backalong advertising - not overlander.

 

One day...

 

Was here: dunno who the co was: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/trading-place/88406-landcruiser-pick-up.html

 

would they though? Generally the countries that they are popular in are dry hot countries, what to say it won't rust as quick as a Landy or any other truck- and rust is the killer of vehicle longevity IMO...

30k isn't too bad, I assume that's plus VAT. But my head says 30k buys a lot of unimog too which can do far more that any pickup. I only generally travel 15 miles each way a day max. So speed and comfort isn't ultra important. Just don't want a vehicle that's being beasted to its limits most days.

Is 3.5t towing and new essential? From what you are saying - just for work, dont do many miles - could you get away with spending £6k on a five year L200 single cab? Should give you 5 years decent service and use the extra cash towards a mog for example.

 

Just a random example - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201610289216956?atmobcid=soc3

Ranger dmax Nissan thing there all much the same,

If you buy new keep it till warranties gone and swap in for new the is can be unreliable as you like you'll always have a truck.

 

Seatbelt went on my ranger today I dropped in at 4.30 no one wanted to stay a extra 10 mins and do it so me and my muddy spaniel are going to put 250 miles on there courtesy van tomorrow,
