4 seater pick up - opinions

R D S ("R D S" ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Almost any "full size" estate car, surely?

And you're seriously considering a crewcab 4x4 pickup?

Try a Ford ranger

And watch the fuel gauge fall at motorway speeds!

If you want something that handles like a car, look at estate cars.

Accompanied by the sound of a chisel on slate R D S, managed to produce the following words of wisdom

If you hated the Trooper, you'll hate every pick up crewcab there is.

As others have said get a largish estate. Mondeo Mk3 Estates are huge inside and the diseasel ones are mega-cheap to run (and don't have the rear axle bush issues the saloons / hatches can have).

If I didn't tow trailers or go off road, I'd have one instead of the Range Rover.

Face it, at the moment this

Well an Astra was MUCH too small, Multipla with rear seats out is OK.

Just thought i'd ask, i've read that 2 litre ish diesels will give almost

At a constant 50mph.& glacial acceleration, 1970s NVH levels & handling that makes one fondly remember the Morris Marina.

Astra certainly isn't "full size". Think mondeo, passat, c5, 406, v70, etc.

I've had a guy lose one at what seemed like a reasonable speed in front of me. No diesel etc on the road, it just went. I was driving a Polo and catching him through an island, and the back end just started coming round. It shook him up a bit as he demoslished the road sign sideways, and came to rest facing me. I was very glad I'd eased off a bit- something didn't feel right.

So look at Mondeo-size.

Oooh, ya bastard.

I've been promised it'll be back on the road in a couple of weeks. As long as its working by the middle of April I'm happy.

You really aren't going to like a pick up if you didn't get on with a 4x4. I'd say estate car or any MPV...
