The F truck is a 4 speed box too so I am not too worried about that, tray size is more important, it is a pity they never did a 130. I do like the rag top though as tool boxes and stuff in the try will stay dry. I suppose there is always a trailer for big stuff and hey bails..

My advise for what it's worth is go and drive one
That will definitely make your mind up one way or another
The only similarity in the driving experience between the Perentie and Puma is the badge IMHO

The tray size on the 6x6 is larger than a 130, it is 3.2m x 2.2m.
With the two axles under the rear it would be great for hay bails.
Totally agree. Driving a Puma is about as exciting as driving a Ford Transit Van. Driving a Perentie is like driving a Land Rover!Quote:

Just buy one, and start the relationship. Enjoy. The 3.9 is not about speed, tractors never are...........
Yes that was Top Gear classic!! I love the bit were the Transit passes the motorbikes :D Imagine you have paid your money to drive the Nurbug ring on a motorbike for the racing experience and you get passed by a diesel transit van!!Quote:

Before I bought the Defender I had terrible back pain after as little as 60km never mind over 600km so for that reason alone I am sold on Land Rover simply as I am enjoying pain free driving again.Quote:
