charlie caller 3,654 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 The ford rangers are good but I think if it was me it would be the Isuzu rodeo, a mate has one it is great off road, looks good and is totally reliable, and he hammers it, it has never missed a beat, and sails through the test every year, desplit only getting the cow shite pressure washed off it once a year lol, it drives nicely on long journeys too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

charlie caller 3,654 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Comparing the two is like comparing a 1960s David Brown, with a new John Deere 4x4 with all the bells and whistles, one is agricultural and drives horribly the other is, well like driving a comfortable car really, get the Jap.
