anyone drive a pickup truck?

[stevepeanut]

I got a mazda B2200 at the moment, its a good workhorse, but its got no power and very low gearing so it wont cruise above 60mph. I want to replace it with something that will sit on the motorway and keep up with traffic. Anyone own or use one that they could recommend?

 

ps I want a proper pickup truck with 2 seats and a huge bed not one of those L200s with loads of seats a 2 foot bed that tax dodgers drive

i got a vaux brava, its a 2.5 isuzu lump so never even needs a service and has a huge bed as its not a crew cab just a single bench seat. it tows a piece of p!ss to the extent you can hardly feel a car on a trailer behind you. will sit at 70/80 all day. couldnt recommend them enough, avoid the 4x4 though as i have heard the transfer boxes are a bit weak, any how rwd is much more fun in the snow

I used to have a bedford brava with a 2.3 isuzu petrol motor, never thought much of it, mainly cos it was on a G plate and was utterly fooked. Might have a look at a newer 2.5 diesel one though.

Agreed we got ours new in 05 and its now on 115,000 miles and other than servicing its never had anything go wrong. Its by far the best vehicle weve owned
