Time has come my van is going in the next couple of weeks hopefully. having a dilema about what to get. Either a pickup or a van. Space is not an issue as I am quite organised and can fit all my stuff in either. Van would probably be better but i really want a Pickup. Not making excuses but if it snows next year it will come in handy taking the wife to work as she doesnt get paid either if she doesnt go.

What do you lot think?

Pick up's are practical plus alot nicer to drive and you can pick up ones at real good money at the minute. But want about when you have 3m conduit to go to a job or trunking?? also my brother has a warrior crew cab and it drinks fuel for fun.

But again it your own prerogative and down to do what you want.

How about a 110 landy with panel sides there's a couple on autotrader, they are the best of both worlds. The water board and environment agency around my way have them, they even have drop down sides so you can get at the racking inside.

SWB Transit Connect, never got stuck once, and even got the wife to work up a 1 in 7 hill when her s***y french megane couldn't even get out of the drive.

Prob one of the worst vans to sign write

all the odd panel lines make the graphics look squint.

Anyhoo, Im also on the lookout for a pick up and the Ford Ranger quad is drawing me in, however the previous post regarding ex-utility LR's is also looking promising.
