neil82 1,076 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 got a mazda b2500 (same as ranger), 2 years, 20k miles, only breakage has been 1 bulb, apart from that just the normal brake pads and a couple of tyres, bit juicy on the motorways, keep it at 70mph and it drops to about 25mpg, ease off to 65 and it gives just under 30mpg, comfortable for me, no sweat over 200 mile journeys, the thought of doing half that in any sort of landie would bring me out in a cold sweat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Floyd17586 454 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 The best 4x4 on the road mate imho is the mitsibishi shogun or pajero why not go for one of dem instead youd get a very good one for the price youd pay for a ranger or disco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
