TerraFirma,
yes! you are correct that people and should post what is revelant. I just pointed out that it wasn't what the OP asked for.
What the OP asked for was people who use these vehicles answer the question. What he got was an opinion and faults from someone who doesn't own or tow with one.
Mining, heavy construction, exploration, properties all find out the problems fairly quickly and they no it is not just a one or two vehicle fault but faults that are common to the fleet.
You will notice that I don't mention brakes or
suspension as these are just an expendable item in mining. If you keep any of these vehicles for a long time these faults will show up.
You will notice in my posts that I have said the drivetrain in the V8 cruiser utes is excellent as there have been only a couple of utes that have had a fault. I don't then go and say the boxes and diffs and clutches are crap because of one or two having a problem.
You will also notice I don't post anything about Narava's or Hiluxes as we don't have enough of these at work to draw any conclusion on their long term longativity. Also these two makes only do really light work.
Read olcoolones answer as he owns and uses one for accurate information.
I gave the OP a link to a site that should have the info he requires. Now has anyone towed around 3 tonne all day with the
Ranger that was mentioned.
