What are you going to be using it for?? ive pretty much used all types of truck but can give you a better answer if i know what for. the truck you posted has auto lockers and comes with a ltd slip rear diff but no difflocks like land rovers

 

Landrovers dont come with difflocks unless fitted after market. If you get two wheels diagonal of the deck they will just spin the wheels unless it has traction control. Alot of the jap stuff like the amazon is packed with all sorts of difflocks. What makes the Landrovers good off road is the suspension travel they can drop a wheel down 300mm and find grip.

Had one as my own truck before being given an Isuzu by my employer. Good solid trucks. :thumbup1:

 

Most defiantly. I've taken mine green laning at the end of December. Very wet & boggy but coped perfectly in two wheel drive all day.

 

I pulled out our work truck a couple of weeks ago, stuck in woodchip, upto the wheel arches. Difficult but managed okay. That was a Mitsibushi canter tipper :)

 

Defiantly a good work horse :)

I'm selling my old one at the moment as, having a company car, I just can't justify keeping it anymore. Going to miss it when it goes. It was almost like a security blanket of 'I've still got my truck so I can go back to subbing if I don't like being employed'. :biggrin:

Shame... Is it worth selling it? Would you be able to sell it at a good price? Perhaps the op may be interested :)

I think it's a bit too old for him (X reg). I know what you mean about keeping it but it's been SORNed since Nov 2012 and only gets used by my other half's Dad for moving stuff about his land. Seems to be a bit of a waste when it would be a good work wagon for somebody. :001_smile:

Ah yes, that's fair enough. Post some pics if you have any bud :) I'd love to see it :)
