L200 verses Navara

[UKPOWERBOAT]

I am looking to purchase for work either an L200 or Navara, neither unfortunately will be the latest shape.

Will be used for towing, chucking floats in to the back of, ropes and generally tools etc hence looking for a pick-up as supposed another 4x4 type vehicle, so at the end of the day if needs be can hose it out. Budget is circa £6/7k

Does anyone have anything positive or negative to say about either vehicle from past experience. For looks I prefer the L200. Cheers

Pictures below are purely for showing the model looking at, load covers etc can be added or removed at a later date.

I had a Navara pick up from new for 3 years the only complaint I have with them is there very light on the back.
and even lighter in the snow.

l200 check for any sign of hesitation either on starting or when running, sounds like a slight misfire occasionally, its the pump on the way out, a fairly common fault and an expensive fix at about £1500

Interesting you say that cos quite a few ads say re-engined generally around 70k-90k mile mark, also re-engined generally by Nissan dealers so also wonder if done as a warranty issue? even perhaps if out of manufacturers warranty.

Any particular reason a crewcab Hilux wouldn't do the job?

No just haven't seen any in my budget that's all, the only ones around are single cab and the double cabs seem to have been to the moon and back :-)
