"reasonable" 4WD for <$12K ???

Good luck

Iv'e a feeling you will probably get all the wheels for the $12 k you indicated you wanted to spend. They are rather slow on the highway too!

Seadog,

I have to put a toyota in there, i have one myself 100 series and its unstoppable although this is an 80 series.

Petrol is ok if your only driving short distances anyways. the difference between the price of a diesel and petrol in purchase wont match the fuel bill difference.

Hey Dan, I was going to ask if a 2.8 turbo diesel would be up to towing.
But then I remembered a tray truck I had that had a 3.5 turbo diesel in it. I used to carry up to about 6 tonne on the back of that and it went OK.

If only we were in the states, we could have something like this.



what a hoot.

Can't go past toyota in my book, an old diesel hilux or cruiser should serve you with years of reliable service
