No experience of them but they look good in blue or the dark orange. My mate had the old shape as a company truck and bought one for his mrs and her horse business. I liked that one a lot, iirc they suffered with gearbox problems.

I considered one but unless I went through the motions I couldn't even get a price for them. I went with the L200 and so far I'm glad I did on the strength of the bed length. Mines got a reversing camera and with that in 99% of situations I can slot it in where others have struggled in smaller cars! I'd be fucked without it in all honesty! My choices were between the the hilux and barbarian. To match the spec the hilux would have been another 2K+

If you just need one as a lifestyle truck they look cool and I'd consider one next but if you need the load space you'd do well considering the barbarian. I've done 6k in mine since the very end of March and I love it, barely notice it's loaded, in 4wd in the wet, on cruise, full tank and about 400kg on the back, ac on its still knocking out 33mpg! I typically get mid 30s but can see 40mpg.
