Ford Ranger twin cab pick up
Moderator: martauto
a mate said that about the mazda, id rather the ford tho, what mitsubishi the l200 warrior ? ive drove some working at festivals and hilux, hilux i drove a brand new one with 700 miles on the clock earlier in the year it was junk, felt delicate and flimsy and cheaply made
saw a blue ranger a couple of weeks ago with a metal load cover with a chrome roof rack above that, big chrome roof bar with spot lamps, big tyres, it looked the business
id prob be looking at 4-5k range one, seem some nice looking ones for sale with around 80k fsh for around that

they love a gearbox 3rd gear is always moody and will let you down,
they are very thirsty compared to the L200 and D4d hi-lux the load area is completely useless as a work truck and not viable as a daily, they mostly appeal to knuckle dragging scrap yard types,
if you really need to own a twin cab pick up then grab a Hi-lux, they are far more durable/reliable and will hold a residual value for much longer because of this, I can only speak through experience here poltsa
If i were going shopping for a twincab with 5k, I would be looking for a Dodge ram with LPG

Unlike the L200 so beloved of Thespians, poets and brain surgeons then.e30topless wrote: they mostly appeal to knuckle dragging scrap yard types,

arse holes drive these type of wagons mostly. Not proper building types. They can't carry f**k all. Thirsty poser wagons the lot of um.
You want a pickup? best go to toyota for a hi lux

I have to agree with Simon,I can't see the appeal,i'm not a builder as such,more of a property renovations man and with the amount of kit I have to carry a twin cab pick affair would be hopeless.
Van,and a Transit at that,perfect.

X5 V8 for thrills, CRV for chills, Range Rover P38 V8 for sooooo much aggravation...
