Small pickups?

Don't suppose you guys know of any small pickup vans like the Piaggio Porter or the Suzuki Carry? Trying to find a few new vans but struggling to find a UK dealer

What do you mean its unsuitable, its small (well compared to a transit at least) and its a pickup, What more do you want ?

Fr0dders · 27 Jul 2015 at 12:55

lol of all the things you can point out as being wrong with the plan, you chose that you need 8. Well played sir

how small do you need? (or rather why can't you get a larger one like the L200 single cab?)

Problem is fleet purchase (he needs 8). Most Japanese and South Korean brands of micro / kei trucks pulled out of the UK market several years ago because the likes of Ford and Vauxhall offered stuff like the Fiesta / Focus (and later Courier and Connect) and Corsa / Astra (and later Combo) vans.

Looking around, the only Asian company that seems to provide fleet offerings for micro trucks in the UK is DFSK. And according to their website blurb, they only got into the UK in 2011.

Chinese company. Vehicles probably fold like an accordion if you were to hit anything. They cost peanuts though. And AutoExpress gave them 3 and a half stars. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/dfsk/loadhopper

Ah I see, I'm sure they can be imported at large quantities, but will be expensive.
