The problem with these pickup manufacturers is they try and make it comparable to the LR Defender and as far as the rust issue goes they’ve got it bang on🤔

Cept the LRs last a bit longer coz of the oil leaks 🙂

Have the Slovakians kept the same level of oil leakage on the defender ?.

Just think if John Delorean hadn't moved that coke from south of the borders, we could have pick-up trucks made of stainless steel that lasted forever 🙂

If only ford could do something about the gearboxes. I know 2 that have serious gearbox issues at around the 100k mark, one of them much sooner is on its third gearbox at 140k.

 

I had a client that worked in Naples on the Alfa line when it was set up. He said it was made up of many illiterate sheep chasers and throat cutters whose main purpose was to steal anything they could and who made avoiding work a new artistic endeavor.
