A vehicle the size you want and with enough pulling power with good fuel economy IMO doesn't exist ......... I have a Pajero lwb fits the bill perfect apart from the fact that it's shit on deisel ............ but there ain't no perfect motor IMO so you gotta see what's the downfalls ....... in the 20 months I have had my Pajero I've spent no money in parts just servicing and a new set of tyre's , it start's first time .....every time .... and it's like a new car condition wise ........ the only bad point is fuel economy .............. depends on the mileage you will be doing on an average week .......... you really need to work it out before you buy ........ I get 25 to the gallon running around and just under 30 on a long run providing you drive it sensibly .........if you got a heavy foot then economy is worse ......... but like I say mine's been a very good motor for me been all over the country in it too

...i am heavy on the fuel, and i do alot of travelling, to be honest the 4x4 bit would hardly ever get used but on the main part of my permission i have to go through a stream, its ok in the car at the mo, but i wont be able to get past it in the winter..........would anything else do the job?

Id prefer a van in all honesty (better for the dogs)......can you get ones 4 ft off the ground so they can go through water :11:

My mate had a diesel pick up truck for his hounds that was pretty high off the ground and was a bit better on diesel than my jeep too I think it was a Vauxhall Brava or something like that............ he has been across fields in it too .......

[Guest Jonner]

Vauxhall bravas are excellent motors,good on diesal for what they are and are very reasonable in price,1500 quid will get you a tidy one and 4 grand will get you a nice 51 plate

[Guest nastybilly]

canny get any cheeper than ma auld trooper for fuel, it runs on tommta juice donated by the farmer... :11: :11: :11:

[J Darcy 5,871]

i can never understand why subarus never did a deisel...imagine that car, with a bit more ground clearance and in turbo deisel....

A suzuki sj is a small 4x4 jeep ............... you can get a lwb version but there ain't many of them around ,they are shit hot off road but only have a small engine in them so towing wouldn't be easy peasy ............. not sure what the are like on fuel though and I have never seen a deisel version around in the older models at least

[Guest lazylurchers]

Hi Molly

 

Heres a pic of my Suzuki Vitara, which is similar to the SJ.

 

 

It only has 1600 engine, so only thing I'll be trying to pull is the men!! :kiss:

 

My jeep has been off road for a few months due to ignition probs but thanks to a very nice man its fixed and raring to go!

 

I do find it very heavy on fuel though.
