And for those who really do want their load outside to get wet and stolen, the British version of a cool old yank blue collar pickup is not a Hilux or tray Landcruiser with a bed just big enough for a dolls’ house. It’s a mk6 flatbed Transit. 

unless you want to drive off pavement between September and April

Sure. And if you need to, you need to. But the vast majority of UK pickups are owned for prestige.

À lot of metrosexuals have them.

You do think when you see sign-written pickups owned by painter and decorators and carpet fitters - ‘Has no one told you about vans?’

The amount I saw in West Sussex when I was back for Christmas was astonishing.

All the Carlos Fandango special models as well, snorkelled up for the rainforest.

Greatest addiction to the tranny, ford not Harrison, was the tool locker. I had previously just alung the kit on the back of the tipping bed sliding around.

 

My friend has one of the flat pack canopies on his ranger, looks really good and he is dead happy with it.

Looks the same offering from direct4x4.co.uk where I got mine - I believe these companies just drop ship from a Chinese manufacturer (not that that's an issue). I’ve had mine on 2 trucks for 3 years - easy to assemble, solid once fitted, not had any issues. Locks are crap but that doesn’t really matter, I’d rather they were crap and thieves popped the door rather than ripped the whole canopy apart! No issues with the gas struts, thoroughly recommend. I was so happy that I found them whilst looking at the smartcap offerings as saved myself £1500 on basically the same thing! 

Sounds like they are half decent for that price. Might have to give it a go and see for myself.
