    Have you thought of getting a D2a (these are cheap buys these days).
    Rip out the rear seats and you have as much room (probably more room) as the small twin cabs have and you get the comfort/refinement at the same time
    You only get one shot at life, Aim well

    No really I have decided my next car wont be a landy....:-( .
    Don't want an old car with heaps of tech for what I do (and know how to fix) and the new offerings are just not of interest.

    If you can wait the new Ranger will have V6 diesel & permanent all wheel drive as well as transfer case for dual range./

    The V6 will be the Ford F150 diesel that has been modified to fix crank issues

    Amarok will be same car different body.

    We have VW to thank for insisting on V6 & AWD.

    Should be a great car but will be expensive.
    Cheers

    Navara

    I think the new Navara is pretty good, Triton now has 10 year warranty, hard to beat, but you can bend the chassis I believe. Coils all round too.

    I can remember a thread on the now defunct Outer Limits about twisted Nissan chassis years ago, dunno which model it was.

    There are heaps of pics of Navaras with bent chassis if you goog it.

    Some of the bent Triton chassis were fitted with aftermarket camper units that had the water tank well behind the rear axle. Pics of them on here somewhere.

    There are also a few pics of 130 Defs on here with ambitious camper add ons that bent.

    Cadrogans views are informative:

    How to bend your ute: The truth about Mistubishi Triton chassis snapping — Auto Expert by John Cadogan - save thousands on your next new car!

    RRC's would bend at the chassis wall if seriously flogged in the bush..... LRA used to sell reinforcing plates.
