Help Choosing My new Arb truck

[timtree81]

thats a plan, but its finding a good mog at realistic money thats the problem.

 

unimogs cost a fortune to keep ,mega bucks on parts and no one will work on them for less than a million pounds and hour

Surely its got to be a Landy 130 if your used to a crew cab tranny lengh anyway. 130 will take a fair bit of chip, could convert to a tipper, wont get stuck much and is built a lot tougher underneath than a navara.

I have driven a navara and it did tow quite well but the 4x4 system is pretty cheap and useless cos you cant put it in 4 wheel drive without difflock. stick to landy.

Check this out before the navara purchase. I've had nearly 3 grand spent on mine ( covered by warranty)

But just thought you'd like to know.

You must like getting your hands dirty if your looking at Landys..

 

New defenders do seem to be a nightmare but the older Landys are OK. I have a 225,000 mile Disco and a 100,000 mile Defender, both 03. Good reliable tools that work every day.

 

Of the others I would walk away from a VW, I had a small VW (Polo?) van, the thing was a nightmare all its life and nowhere near as economical I was was assured. Once they had my money VW did not want to know. Fords and Vauxhalls are well engineered and stand the test of time, milage and driver abuse.
