Thread: 4x4 buying advice

Just get a nissen patrol 4.2tdi with good history and it will last you for MANY years.

Thanks for all the advice guys, gives me a few options to check out. I think I’ll be looking for something as a secondary wagon as I will be commuting 45km each way to and from work 5 days a week. My current corolla is perfect for that.

Thanks again!

For my hunting a 4x4 bike is alot more useful than a 4x4 ute & a bike is alot cheap to maintain than a ute just some thing else to think bot

Gotta be a van, if you are patient you will find one that is not stuffed.
My Hiace will close the door on 3.0m sheets of gib easily. I can even get 4.0m planks inside and close the door properly if the planks sit on the dash.
Then as for camping etc.... Ute, blah.

If I were working farming etc or moving big heavy/ dirty as things often then a ute would be ideal.

I reckon the only two bad things about a van is the loss of legs in a proper frontal, and where to chuck that bloody animal's carcass?

Hi/lo 4wd Hiace.
get the 2.8L diesel (engine code=3L)
I reckon mine is gonna catch up to @7mmwsm's Rodeo shortly (only if his stops clocking up Km/s....)
