Had 100s of em.isuzu sllwayz the best Yeah I know izuzu make the most Diesel engines, there crew cabs look smart aswell that's one of the reasons I like them heard bad things about l200, the hilux is a nice motor but my pal used to work for Toyota said they good trucks but parts are very expensive, Great Wall is what it us a cheap and nasty motor, the vw amorock is a big show off motor and has its issues Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How come you picked the blade and not the huntsman and how much would I expect to pay per month for a new truck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 It only came in green which I didn't like and the draw system took up room that I needed ... How much you pay will depend on how much deposite you put down and whether you are buying it for business use so you can claim the VAT back ...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I've been battling with a similar decision for a good while JCM. I also drive an estate car and it is hard work keeping it clean and nice smelling to double as a family car. Especially this time or year. Christmas, new year, driving people about in a dog-smelling skip. I'm currently torn between getting a decent 4x4 pickup type motor like you... And getting a tidy weekend and family car and keeping the estate car for the dogs. I'm thinking the latter at the moment. I do a fair bit of travelling to work the dogs, and 25-30mpg isn't very good. I can get 60mpg from my estate on a run. Plus the 4x4 are pretty sluggish and I do like to get my toe down from time to time. So I could make sure my "weekend car" had a bit of poke and keep the dog wagon cheap and sensible. Good luck with whatever you decide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I get two car tho it's 2 lots of tax insurance etc and the izuzu dmax is supposed to return 38mpg combined which isn't bad but then I'd also get it remapped to try and use every bit of diesel as efficient as possible. I do between a hell of a lot of miles with and without the dogs so mpg is a big factor for me but if a could get a motor remapped to return about 40-42 mpg on a run I'd be very happy. I also like the high driveing position of a big pick up or a 4x4 for that matter so there is positives and negatives but I'm going to do a lot more digging before I make up my mind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Qbgrey 3,983 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 If u got any worryd about fuel don't get a pick up.terrible fuel consumption. I don't ever calculstd the mpg I'd have a heart attack. 4ompg I reckon is impossible, more like 30 mpg.I spend 400 to 500 a month on fuel. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
as88 146 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Like qbgrey has said if you want good mpg dont cosider any truck because you will be dissapointed you wont return 38mpg thats just a paper stat. It will be more like 30-33mpg if you use it off road it will want some tyres for it because it wont be much use with road tyres Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcm 2,326 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 fuel is not the be all and end all I understand that 30s is the normal but a good remap should see the mpg heading towards late 30s early 40s if driven careful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
