  1. WHS ^^^

     

    I want to get something cheap and cheerful that I can use as a main vehicle but also to pull a trailer for small private jobs.

     

    Van insurance for youngsters seems to be rediculously pricey :confused1:

     

    Ive got a Ford Ranger atm, which is expensive to insure and run(fuel), its an excellent truck, and great for working locally, most my work is within a 10 mile radius, but if i you have to travel quite a distance to a job or want to go and visit family and friends in other parts of the country it costs you dearly in fuel. A small van would be far cheaper to run. But i do forestry work as well, so need some off road ability. Might invest in a Quad.

    It depends what you do, but a lot the time there isn’t one vehicle that will do everything you want. Ideally id like to have a economical road going vehicle for carrying tools, and a Defender for the off road work.......... and a nice selection of trailers :biggrin: but us younger chaps will have to wait until we can afford more kit. :thumbup:

  2. Im thinking about buying a small van, so this thread is giving me some ideas. But i like it to be able to tow a small trailer, sometimes full of logs, so i would be interested in the towing weights of your vans, and how capable they are. Was also wandering if you can fit AT tyres to them as well? Im Guessing small front wheel drive vans can get pretty far off road if you wanted :thumbup:
