We've two transits and they are sluggish but work great, our oldest we brought used over 6 years ago has had very little go wrong... The newer one we've had 3 years is still very reliable. (our chippers however....) If you don't go off road they are great. If you have a Landy you've got a 4x4, use that when your off road, chances are you'll be able to chip on site on those jobs. Unless you want to tow 3.5 tons, then get a landy.

No contest mate, if you want something that will work all day, be easy to fix yourself, depreciate very little in value & provide a classless (in the actual sense of the word) image when you arrive at a job, it has to be a Landrover.

I think that the problem is trying to get a truck that is god off road, has a good carrying capacity, does not have the turning circle of a 130 , does not depreciate etc etc you end up looking at either a mog or the new iveco , i went down the mog route and have not looked back but thats me and not everyone wants a mog . its certainly a tough one to deide on , im pretty cure western power are using 4x4 merc's of VW's in some areas , maybe they are worth looking into
