What to buy

I am considering buying a 4 wd to use as a daily comuter vehicle from Hill Top (near Mittagong) to Campbelltown i.e. 110k's of straight highway 5 days a week and then say two weekends a month I will be travelling with a horse float and mostly one horse though sometimes two - probably two horses will only be relatively short distances i.e. within 2 hours and when one horse might be to say Dubbo, Tamworth etc. for horse shows...3/4 times a year and local shows every second weekend to say Illawarra region, canberra, central coast.......but mainly it is a "passenger" vehicle except for towing ...............


I am (after some investigation) narrowing down my sights (budget of $15,000) to a hopefully dual fuel LPG/Petrol Nissan Patrol SWB 1990-1993... (or same in Ford Maverick)..........

Is it a great difference with LWB to economy??? (extra size is not necessary most of the time though would come in handy when towing showing for saddles etc.

What do you think?.....Any advice would be appreciated.....................
