They need to be able to get into Westfields carpark and the Canter or Isuzu won't fit, they do have an Isuzu for other areas but the other 2 vehicles need to get into low clearence areas, the Discos replaced a 3.0ltr Patrol and Navara cause they struggled with the weight of the sweeper and trailer, aspecially the Navara.

Baz.

I'm absolutely gobsmacked !

Surely a 4.2TD Patrol ute or a 79 Series 'Cruiser would've been cheaper than a D3 ???

Oh, hang on, Nissan only rate the ute at 2.5t towing capacity, yet the wagon is rated at 3.5 tonne, go figure .......

Also had to be auto and seat a minimum of 4 people, something about one person not being able to drive a manual.

Also having the 3.5tonne capacity doesn't mean it will do the job easily.

Like feeding strawberries to pigs if you ask me.
