4x4 3.5 tonners

[benedmonds]

I would like to replace one of my 3.5 tonners with a 4x4

 

Is Land Rover the only option? They cost so much!

 

We have just paid £8K for a 5 year old 6.5 ton iveco with 48,000 miles, but for that money I'm looking at a 10-15 year old Landy with 175,000 mile on the clock, doors that leak and all the other issues with landies.

 

Any one any experience with these:

Could get a Peugeot Boxer 4x4. I know it wont be a land rover but it should cross a damp feild..

The Dangel conversions are not available in the UK now. Have you considered a VW T5 4x4/Mercedes Sprinter 4x4/Ausa 4x4?

YOu should get a bit more landy than that, but yes, they do hld their value. Unless you really need 4x4 then get something cheaper. If you need the best 4x4 performance in the weight bracket, then its your only choice.

BTW mine is a 1995 300tdi. It doesnt leak oil, and it doesn't let water in either.

It's yellow! Needs the back doing!

Get a good landy,stay on top of the maintenance(not hard),and it will last you for years.

Just my opinion,but I have worked them since 1986 and had no major dramas.

Hahahahaha....you're wrong there...it DID, but i sorted it.

I'll consider anything before resorting to an expensive old Land Rover...
