I am not as keen on the shape of the FJ think the other pic I saw was black and that seemed ok. You know you really want the dmax though  ;D ;D

why did you sell the jeep?

I'd go a used Prado over the midlife crisis... but both are not that much different to the jeep

so that leaves a ute...

Toyota Dealer rang and said someone else was looking at their FJ and did I want to put a deposit down. I said, nah, it's ok, if you sell the FJ I'll go buy the Navara:-)

We only have one car.
Ug (Graeme) has a company truck that he drives with all the tools in it...  (no pun intended) but ........
I drive the pathy as my daily.

Just curious scarps why the Navara and not another model ute? The new model is out soon but I guess there must be some ripper deals around too,  which makes it even tougher.

Have you driven different model utes, that's if you go this way?
Good luck with your decision mate.

Does the type of vehicle depend on what the banter will be like over the radio?

ok, it looks like a grey nomad's caravan tug.

But agree it is a great one at that.

You do realise grey nomad's buy the jeep you just sold due to the 3.5T towing...

Rear IFS would put me off the Paj if I was doing lots of towing.

A set of polyairs in the rear does the trick!

We've got a now 14 year old NM with 10ish year old Pedders 50mm raised springs.  I don't do tons of towing, but do a bit between a Jayco camper, 16ft 70's caravan and the odd tandem.  Never seen any tyre scrub or supposed IRS issues?

yeah I was impressed by your BT when we were at Knockwood, the Ranger however is having too many issues for my like.  The Jeep was more reliable:-)
