Best 4x4 for the farm and for towing vehicles and animals.

Hello OziExplorer
I know the shoguns.. I have not looked at the newer ones.. good idea.
We do get the Nissan Patrols but I don't know which engines are available to us. I will look into it.
I think you are right on the 4litre engines.
I will check out the 'stanton' website
Thanks

Nothing further JJ? :o Oh well......Beam me up Scotty! ;)

I've beamed down again Hedonist. Quick galactic visit to get a perspective on things. Been away from the computer for a few days I'm afraid.

Pete,
I'm based in the UK.
Want Diesel mainly for economy (and we have tax free farm diesel... which of course I don't use on the road). To get good pulling torque from a petrol, it has to be a biggy and that is going to cost too much in fuel.
The heaviest load is going to be one of those mini-digger things, I think these are heavier than the cars I tow. Other than this, a couple of largish horses.
We can get Landcruisers, Range Rovers, Discoveries, 110's, Nissan Patrols, Isuzu Troopers... I'm thinking.. There are more.. Toyota Hilux, Jeep's, Ford Explorers, Suzukis (good for towing a chicken)... There must be more and if we don't get it via dealers, we seem to import a lot of other stuff.
It will do a lot of road work towing and not. It has to also serve as a farm car (clay ground, which is damn slimy in the winter.. Very wet here... but mostly on fairly decent mud tracks)
Maximum of around 35,000 Pounds.
Thanks for the response
JJ

Hi Redjack
A mate of mine was looking at the Trooper as a good workhorse. It will be worth a look.
Too much choice is the problem (Or maybe it's me being indecisive)
Thanks
JJ
