It still never ran right, in the end FOrd took it back and we now have a wild track 3.2.
Heard on Friday that all the early 3.2 models have been recalled for a over heating issue, something to do with a belt rubbing a water hose.
My honest opinion avoid them.
Have you thought about a hilux 3.0l d invinsible? I had one of them a couple of years back, cracking all round vehicle and hold there money well. Just another option for you.
My 2 choices were down to the invincible or barbarian. I like the hilux, the one I drove was so comfortable and was easy to drive as an auto but personally I prefer the firmer ride from the l200. To match the spec of the barbarian with touch screen twat nav and full leather added too much. I know some people really don't rate the l200 but it's good value against the others. Does depend what you want though as the rodeo Denver can tow 3.5t, Navarra's are nice trucks but strong money for the top spec. Only major criticism I have with the l200 is that it could and should have a 6 speed box to quieten it down on a run, it does have a centre diff so you can run it in 4wd on road. Not sure what the drivetrain is on the competition off hand.
