ok,navaras avoid the 02 to 54 batch as engine problems good on motorway thats about it really and ok to tow, izuzu are nice to drive 3 litre id go for as had good grunt for towing. mitsubishi l200 are ok but i know parts are expensive and some engines are prone to blowing. brand new ford rangers are supposed to be a real good all round package and excellent towers later ones seem to have gearbox problems. land rovers are good but usually some gremlins either electrical or mechanical plus cabs are tiny. hilux are good for occasional towing, good cab space and if you service them go on forever and ive never got mine stuck yet but if you off road a lot a good set of muds help no end. not had much experience with mazdas.

 

Id say go for mk4-5 hilux thats my opinion as they have never let me down

Our 53 plate Navarra did over 180k and it didn't have an easy life. Got it with only 13k on the clock.

We've also got a 57plate ranger with 140 ish on it and a South African D22 with the 3L with 150k. None get it easy as everyone drives them. They're there to do a job.

Looking to get a couple of new ones, single cabs this time, with tippers either Izuzu or Hilux.
