Default suggest me a pick up truck

as above a budget of about £7500 to 8500 max was going to look at a 2007 ranger but heard bad things about brakes and clutchs

i just dont know what to get i hear l200 have bad mpg and nivaras d22 suffer bottom end problems

so basically give me you opinions on your pick ups and the good and bad bits

and i have been looking at isuzu rodeos cause i knew the engine was bullet proof in the old vauxahlls lol

Got a navara d40 myself, its great, mpg is crap, but I'm not to bothered about that

There was a thread on here last week about them and other pickups, do a search. On my phone, otherwise I would post a link to it.

l200,s are quality but like u say prett juicy when the turbo kicks in. But u could get an old style one for few grand. U wont save that in getting a pick up which is more economical

There's the land rover 110 or 130, but they may be a bit 'basic' for what your after. The L200 has very little room on the back seats if the driver is tall, but the ranger hasnt got exactly huge rear leg room either......
