What 4x4?

syke · 25 Sep 2006 at 18:10

Been looking at the Jeep Cherokee's and Isuzu Bighorns, but what would you advise for sub £3k? Will be used for carrying tools..supplies from shops etc. We want it to be fairly big but not monstrous.

We've had a look at the Hilux's but we're not too sure.

Any other ideas?

Sorry for re-post, but this is for a 4x4 instead of the Ute idea now.

are these shops off the beaten track?

no?

OK, sort yourself out with a decent estate then

Top of the range Mondeo mk2 Estate. Save a few bob in the process.

Changed our minds off the Estates, we would prefer a 4x4.

So .. back on topic what 4x4's?

You'll need to up the budget, but... Landcruiser.

Just remember to take the kids to school in it.

Somthing like a Toyota Hilux Surf might be worth a look

Yeah i had a little look at them, do you have one by any chance?

Nozzer · 25 Sep 2006 at 18:37

Nope, but have a friend who swears by them.

Hilux Surf. 3.0 litre diesel. 2.4's have HGF problems.

Too bad you can't go up a little on the budget. Here's a beauty of an example of a Toyota HiLux....

You are going to get a very old 4x4 for this sort of budget.

Get an Estate.

If you want to carry tools around, why not buy a van like most workmen?
Just remember, paint it white and it'll be the fastest thing on the road.

If you fancy carrying the odd person too, then an MPV would be much more space efficient.

4X4's are useless for space. If you do insist on getting one make sure it has a tow bar because you'll be needing a trailor once you realise it's not as big as you first thought. Something like an estate or van would be much better.

Toyota Estima 4x4

indyskyz · 5 Nov 2006 at 11:43

4x4's are for farmers and off roading not going to the shops :rolleyes:

K.C. Leblanc · 5 Nov 2006 at 15:25

How about an MPV or a Van?

What 4x4?
