That's not too bad really. Only top end Navara type money, or a touch more.

How about one of these. Looks a tad wide for Devon lanes though

It's here, and it's ... VERY different. We just got some of the press updates from Tesla with details, specs, and actual photos, so...

I am looking forward to getting an electric truck once they become economically viable. Not quite there yet though.

$40000 with quite a lot of power on offer and they are taking deposits. Go on J you know you want one

Very true, but then I'd have to develop the tireless habit of announcing my arrival on every site with the exclamation "Great Scott!"

It's straight out of a cheap 70's sci fi.

Makes one wonder if he has completely lost the plot but apparently they have taken between 150000 and 200000 deposits for it. Think I will be holding out for a more practical looking EV truck

Oh but the price! I think they you are looking at $100,000 for them. Mind you they have real trucks not just computer renderings.

Right, we're sorted for vehicles  

 

The Berlingo van stays as it's awesome and it's my main work vehicle.

 

The C4 Grand Picasso is being swapped for a same age, same mileage Seat Leon X-perience. It's a medium sized 4x4 estate on stilts. It's narrow for the lanes and has an auto box for my wife who doesn't like gears. Kathryn can also get onto my sites with it should she need to drop off parts or oils (happens pretty regularly).

 

And I picked up a nice low mileage, one owner V10 Touareg today. It pulls like a train and actually looking forward to hitching a trailer up to it. I can't imagine any hill will phase it.

 

So, hopefully, that concludes the (up to this point) neverending question of which tow vehicle to get. 

I shall report back on how we get on with the Touareg. First impressions (after driving it 80 miles today) is that it is incredibly comfortable and brisk. The cabin is so much better than in a pickup, and space for someone my height much better.

V10! ??

 

Superb choice mate, enjoy!
