bert69 5 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I got a 2004 hilux with 70k on it for 6k so it is possible to find. Prices will be inflated at the minute tho with the weather we been having. Like said before. Great vehicle, i've had fords and mitsubishis before and this is best truck i ever had.

artic 595 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 What ever you choose, have it serviced on a regular basis. That way your mechanic will find any problems that may arise. Land Rover Defenders and Mitsubushi Animal/Warrior I can only comment on. They are all tough trucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogga 1 Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 heard that head gasket failure is a common problem on mitsu L200 and do know of at least 2 that have had that problem so did kind of discount them to be honest.rex digger did you buy a roof mounted blitz off me few years back ?if you did did you have navara back then too?

shamus 36 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 my mate has an 04 warriorand has had quite a few problems,the latest being the main crank bolt shearing and causing quite a lot of damage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artic 595 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 For Mitsubushi animal/warriors, the pre 2002 models are the ones to go for. I have a few friends also with these and are pretty much faultless. The ECU's have problems with the later models. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,935 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Aye Get a 2.8 Pajero lwb and spend the 5k change on booze and guns Goodridge A/T`s and It`ll go anywhere and hasn`t got the head issues of the newer 2.5 motor Pick up a minter and its 10 times the motor of an L200 thats for sure!

STAN22 3 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Hilux every day, brought my latest 2 months ago an i love it its a 2002 gx double cab. Best of the double cabs off road because of the diff lock, sold my last one a couple of years ago and always regretted it. Only got road tyres on but went digging 2 weeks ago on some really sh*t ground an not the slightest problem. L200 an navara are thirsty compared to the 2.5 d4d engine.

Cleanspade 3,322 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 i work in agriculture and have been running about in a ford (wildcat) no fancy extra's' a bit light on the back end and can be a bit greedy if you have heavy feet. but its been a real work horse and has took a power of abuse. towing diggers carrying heavy loads etc. you get what you pay for Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A1an 4 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hilux for the win, Ive had this one a couple of months and its great, just needs some decent tyres Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasper65 6 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 owned my 52 Plate D22 Navara twincab for about 4 years now and never missed a beat. now coming round to 106,000mls and runs as sweet as when I first picked it up and don't burn a drop of oil, probably gives better fuel figures too than the Toyota and Mitsubishi....
