• My mate got a Ranger for similar reasons. It's nice, albeit not as roomy as I expected.

    Previously used a Passat which has a colossal boot and even more so if you drop the seats, but ultimately didn't like the cross-contamination from building crap.

  • I had a Ranger for 2 weeks when an idiot hit my l200 with a dumper, it sort of worked but I was very glad to get rid of it. I still see my 2003 l200 being driven around, the Ranger is made by Ford. The only alternative I would touch (with my own money) is the new Isuzu. With someone else's money I would have the VW.

  • why not the Hilux? I drove one quite extensively at one point, admittedly many years ago, and as agricultural vehicles go it was ok. It drove better than a Mitsi Shogun of the same era (admittedly a low bar).

    The current Hilux are said to bounce around a little less than the the L200.

  • My mistake, it's actually a Raptor. Although a few years old now.
