Aquiring the perfect vehicle

[martwizz]

Forgot to mention only the Ranger/Mazda and the Navarra extra cabs actually have the opening rear door which is a real plus point. Cannot understand why Toyota do not do it.

 

Thats one of the reasons i'm aiming for a ranger versus a hilux, other than the cost

If you want to tow with the Ranger/Mazda, go for an earlier one as the newer ones have higher gearing.

Here is a Ranger

 

 

All good gear goes in the back seat.

timber, i looked into L200s a little bit. What would you say about this?

Its not supercab but i could get a lockable hardtop until i found something better in the future. The guy is willing to deliver which is handy!

Overpriced given the mileage imo although pickup prices seem to go up and down a £grand regularly!

 

My mate has a single cab l200 with one of these

et al...

would a lockbox fit snugly against the cab or does there need to be a space to allow you to open the lid?

 

Those that you suggested are still pretty far away from me. I dont particularly want to spend the time and money to go all the way to wales to look at trucks.

 

I'll just keep an eye on ebay and autotrader i guess. Something will turn up eventually.

My Mazda single cab has been awesome, w reg bought it for 3.5k with 100k on it, I've put 50k on it in the last 4 years. It didn't have a service for the first 30k. It gets serviced once a year now and gets fixed when it needs it. It's had new shocks, leaf springs and a rear diff but for the work it does and has done I think that's pretty good.

I basically built my business with it before i bought my tipper and will never sell it as it's so handy useful

 

I subbed plenty in mine and you can easily get climbing saw, big saw rigging and climbing kits in the passenger seat/footwell

 

It tows my timberwolf ok, but struggles with heavier stuff a bit as it's non turbo

 

Awesome truck, I'd by another tomorrow
