One of the engines was notorious for self destructing(D22 orD40?) and they seem to be developing a problem with chassis breakages. Have you thought about the Isuzu Denver Rodeo?

I'd definitely stay away from the MK1 Caddy.... It useless as an arb truck.

 

 

 

 

 

Personally, with a baby en-route, with the research I've done, I'm looking to get a Mazda, Ford as my first 'proper' pick-up.

 

(anyone want a mk1 caddy - 1.9TD AAZ conversion )

 

 

Love these early daddy's would look good in

I'd say the indivdual pick up's condition/miles etc is more important than wot badge it has.

 

Only 1 i'm not keen on is navara's, had 1 which was ok but some garages refused to take it as a trade in due to the d22? (03 plate) engine, if done more than 100k miles u should be ok thou, tend to go around 50-70k

I think new shape are quite soft compared to other 4x4's

 

I don't mind the l200's althou the old square shape the cabs are rubbish and no room in back seats, new bubble shape are far better cabs, loads of room.

L200's are most popular pick up in my area by miles, not the best but cheapest, but never hear of that many big problems with them

How much?

 

Will be in the £3500 region when I get round to officially selling it

The old Mazda badged as a Ford was a good truck, cheap as chips these days.

Have a look on auto salvage websites and proper auctions.

 

Some motors not making an awful lot.

My last/present 1 is an insurance write off, just had a couple of major body work bashes on it, panel beat it myself with help from my tifor

either welding nuts onto body or drilled holes to could attach winch cable to pull bashes out.

I'll never get a job as a panel beater,but it doesnae look to bad for a work motor and was cheap

I have an older model Isuzu rodeo. It's a great truck but parts are only available from a handful of places. I'd say make sure you can buy parts for it before buying whatever you choose.
