Anyone a builder?

Alex mac said:

Hi all just wondered if anyone on here is a builder/contractor, and what do you use as the work vehicle?
I am a building contractor and going to sell my defender 90 as I am lacking in serious space for tools and general room. But I need a 4x4 for towing my machines and materials. I am thinking about get a Nissan navara or ford ranger. Will be very sad to see the defender go though

Cheers
Alex

The 110 has the same size back just extra seats, no good.

Looked at a few 130 but they are pricey and everyone I have seen for sale are not very good.

First one is nice but I'm not a huge 200tdi fan, I have to tow a 2.8ton slew so that might struggle a little

no it wont, most say 200 is better than 300 so each to their own but good engines none the less
