'No just thought they might be the better options, although this is not backed up by any expert knowledge. I'll have a good look at the various options everyone's mentioned

 

 

Thanks for the advice.'

 

I used to have a fourtrak and my previous employer had a pajero for years. Never had a problem with either (except a bit of rust!!) and both are great for towing and off road.

But, they are getting on a bit now so finding a good nick low mileage one might be difficult.

I never had any problems with mine. TD4 engine mind. Not the petrol.

 

Yep... mine's a TD4 too. That's the one to go for.

Freelanders are awful things. I had a commercial one many years ago. Total junk. Maybe have a look for an old landcruiser as well. ??

On a Freelander alot of people disconnect the rear drive shaft due to problems with the bearings in that area so you end up with just a front wheel drive vehicle .

Have a look at the post 2003 Jeep Cherokee. They are not well known but are amazing vehicles. Built like a tank. 2.8litre VM engine with 160hp. Towing limit of 2.8tonnes.

Selectable, proper, 4wd with low range too.

 

I really liked mine. Great off road and on. Mine was silver, this is a pic I pulled off the net.

Thanks for the info I'll have a look.

Why post 2003?

The pre 2003ish had a 2.5 engine. The 2.8 packs a great deal more punch
