What 4X4????

[HRG Tree Services]

Im looking to buy a 4x4 for a utility contract my budget is 5-7k so a defender is out of my price range!!!

 

I was maybe thinking a ford ranger, L200 or Hilux

 

it needs to be crew cab and secure!!!!!

 

Any ideas guys?

Hummer :lol:

In my opinion. Ranger or Hilux, reliable and stand up to abuse. You will get more for your money with a Ranger, but the Hilux holds it value. Got mud terrain tyres on my ranger, great off road.

Yeah I've been looking at rangers I know another company that uses them he swears by them!!!!!

Can you put a winch on the front?

[Rich2484]

IMO go for an older ranger, they seem to last better than the new ones. Hilux is ok, but the 2.4 NA is gutless with a load on. The turbo is better.

Don't bother with the l200 they have Lexus engine in them and are more for show.

I think it's the winch that does it pal haha

I have a Mazda B2500, in other words a Ranger, and I have been happy with it. Just put a brand new alternator on it for £110 so parts seem to be reasonable. Mine is a 2000 model but has a 2003 engine so is LEZ compliant, something you need to consider if you plan to work in London at all.

That would be perfect Mozza but its a bit tight in the back as I will have a 3 to 4 man team in it!!! Probably get a few moans from the groundys about comfort!! Lol
