Hi all, 1st post for me.
I have a 2000 petrol landcruiser... just the 6 cyl. that is very tired now and needs to retire... basically it needs rebuilds on everything...according to my mechanic, and so it is now time to invest in a new truck.
This is what i would like to do..
Tow a hard floor camper trailer in sand and everywhere.
i don't go hardcore 4x4, forest trails and beach really, just to escape the masses.
maybe the odd adventurous drive, but more than likely without the camper on.
i will have between $30-$40K budget.
i am looking at petrol 200 series, but the kms are about the 150k-180k mark...
i could get a newish low km bt50 for that coin.
but i know the absolute need for power towing on the sand, my 105 petrol did it with ease.... well at least i thought so until the recent conversation with my mechanic.
$40k is a lot of money to me and my family, we want safe, reliable, and don't want to kill it with our weekends away.
your opinions will be greatly appreciated, i have researched cars and read good and bad reviews now to the point of being utterly confused and unsure.
thanks rob
