maespant 1 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Had mine about 2 years now (03 plate facelift with big headlamp) it has 112000 on the clock, The Gearbox went bang at 100K and cost about £600 to fix Apart from that in terms of the amount of car you get for your money I have nothing but praise for it, If money no option I would go for 3litre D4D Hi-Lux, but for what I want and use it for I have no complaints Quote Link to post Share on other sites

baronvontreffyes 2 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 well my mazda b2500 is a ranger or rather a ranger is a mazda,but its a great truck i think there better to drive than a toyota and i have driven a few,its not bad on fuel good for room in back and tyres last well,i have had no problems iv had a few 4x4s and this i would say all round is the best yet,but its all down to taste a lot of it end of the day,speak as you find i suppose Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil r 1,796 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 my old boss had 2 on the farm , a t reg single cab and a 54 plate twin cab and both of them took some proper abuse and never missed a beat . they towed trailers full of calfs or sheep or a couple of 850 kilo bags of pig feed with ease, they are good of road and comfy inside , probably one of the better pick ups around and a damn sight better than navarras and L200s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
