So I’d like to know that with a budget of $20,000 what would be the best option to upgrade to, keep in mind that it will be my work (carpentry) vehicle pulling a trailer daily. I don’t mind if it’s a 110/130, ute or wagon, I’m thinking of at least a 5 seater due to the family needing to hop in sometimes and taking the kids offroad.

I won’t be buying until next year but I’m looking now to get ideas. My concern is what the high mileage problems will be, I don’t want to buy it and have the engine blow up on me after 12 months.


Sorry about the long speech but, I’d like to give as much info as possible.

Thanks heaps in advance.

Tried to send you a PM, but you need to clear some space before I can do so.
