I drive an "07 L200 and I'm chuffed to bits. I'm a landscaper and I put it through it's paces on and off road (got decent tires) with and without trailer/with and without load. It's also our family vehicle (Crew Cab) and is brill for canoe topping, carrying our camping kit and hammocking from.
If I had a higher budget at the time I would have bought a Navara based vainly on looks, but the L200 has been an economical choice. It's an "eco" model which means every time you walk into it with a wheel barrow or hit it with a shovel it dents like a foil take away container, but it's cheap to run considering the loads I lump about. I also shoot and birdwatch out the back of it. Can't sleep in the back as I get sea-sick. The dog spends her naps in the back while we work and loves it. EVERYONE GET YOURSELF A PICKUP NOW!
I've owned an "05 L200 and a "91 Hilux. They were both propper old diesel pick ups, but the Hilux was the one for me that was like an old friend. True life blood in that old thing.....hc
