Got one – but Trojan – and do a lot of miles. LOTS.
25mpg, 9,000 mile service intervals, weak gearbox (third has a habit of falling out), rear suspension has a habit of breaking, turning circle is actually pretty good for a pickup – if rubbish compared to anything else. Standard Bridgestone tyres are lethal.
Mine has Cooper AT3s on it which helped some of the more exciting and unpredictable handling characteristics, whilst also making it more useful off road!
The engine isn’t too bad and it can pick up it’s skirts reasonably well. The Super Select 4×4 system is actually VERY good IMO and can be used on tarmac too.
Driving experience is very agricultural… although better than the even more elderly Toyota.
Would I have the new one… probably not. Thinking of changing to a van this time and just picking up a cheap old 4×4 for when it is needed (Suzuki Jimmny or something possibly)
