Might be having a fleet reorganisation. Looking for a small or short wheelbase tow truck. Ideally 3 tonnes upward.

Don't want another 90 they are not robust enough. Don't want another jeep they are numb to drive. All the pickups are way too big. Can't justify a new Ibex f8 no matter how perfect it would be and no one is selling one second hand. All the big SUVs are too big and car like and a bit nice for destroying on the farm.

All of which leaves me looking at the swb shogun either in van or car. And Mitsubishi has that reputation for blowing up engines.

Unless I have missed something?

Oh and it has to be automatic so dad can drive it more easily.

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

That's ibex money. Maybe in 3 years when the deprecation has hit?

This game isn't nearly as fun if we have to restrain ourselves by what's actually affordable.

Going to throw some oddballs out there

Kia Sorento (Mk 1)
Ssangyong Rexton

Both a bit on the large side

Ha ha. Yeah ain't that the truth. Didn't know that they could tow that much?

Yeah, both ladder framed chassis. I actually had a Sorento a few years ago. Loved it. Pulled some guy's Maserati out of the beach.
