[Isabelle68]

Wanted a cheap single cab been offered a 52 plate ranger with 70,000 and an l200 with 87,000, both the same money, both about the same condition, had an l200 before but never had any experiences with rangers, what do you fellers think?? Decisions decisions??

Both cheap so not much to loose

[Isabelle68]

True, what are rangers like though??

[Chopperbob]

Yeah I rate the ranger having had several over the years and never had any major problems just the general wear and tear bits and bobs. My friend had and earlier l200 and it might of just been a bad one but contanstly wanted for something engine related, I think final straw with it was head gasket and cracked head.

The 2 ive been offered are round the £1500 mark and local to me so no travelling involved

I had an old 52 plate l200 that was fine till it blew up at 155,000! See quite a lot of high mile rangers still going strong though!

We run both, the Mitz is very carlike and comfy but a tad undergeared. The Ranger is a bit more trucklike and has a better engine.If its just you and your tools go for the L200 , if it needs to tow all day go with the Ranger.

I dont think it,ll do much towing just me and gear to the woods and back, firewood and ferrying pots and nets to and from the boat

If you can find a mazda 2500 nearby its just a ranger for less money, think both came off the same mazda production line in Thailand?
