Does it blow both ways A little one to help the big one blow harder, ( Oow errr missus ) reducing lag, I’ve driven this a lot and it doesn’t half shift for a big heavy truck, mind you, so does the fuel gauge when you put your foot down Quote Link to post
si brown 8,486 Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 thats a good price stav, it was between one of them and a Hilux when I was looking! my mate bought one the other day, hes owned Isuzu's before and likes them.. he puts them through hell too 1 Quote Link to post
BenBhoy 4,706 Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Farmer next door has one as his daily runaround/work truck (an amarok for best ) and he speaks highly of it. Tows very well. I think the older models were prone to the turbo failing & there is the well documented issues with the rear leafs. Full service history on it? Quote Link to post

Yeah, it’s got full dealer history, it’s done about 50,000 miles, it’s still got a years warranty on it, it’s got a few little marks on it, but it’s been used as a work truck, there’s a little bit of damage to the o/s front bumper where he hit a deer, but I know a good body lad, I’ve been looking at them and I can’t find one for less than £17,500 and that was high mileage Quote Link to post
