Tell me about.....pickups!

[Payman]

The Colorado is priced to compete with the Tacoma. The Hilux is less expensive.

The Mitsu L200 is pretty cool. We had a 2004-5ish model as our line truck in Dubai. It drove great and was pretty punchy. I see the 2 dr model starts at around $17,500 US down there. I wish we had them up here.

Oh there's also a Wrangler pickup coming.  I know I was just talking about ride quality and things, but it might offer some things than no other truck can. (Then again it might not and just be a poor riding truck 😂)

I like how it looks, it will be awesome offroad, but poor riding onroad, and it will be stupid expensive.

Do we know if it will have a removable rood panel or half doors/removal doors yet?  If so the benefits of those features might be worth the trade off for worse on road driveability.  However I wouldn't be surprised if the ride quality of the JL is near what it is for some of these trucks.

VW Saviero.

I'll sell you my El Camino for $20k USD.

Swap a LSjuan and you have a deal

The Mitsubishi by far. We have one here in rental spec that I drive daily and it's a blast. The ranger is terrible in comparison. And yeah just get barebones.

[68_427]

Wasn't the ranger just heavily redesigned or updated with the NA market (USA) in mind?

[Rich]

Maybe. We have a 2016 or 2017 model here. It's cramped, numb, clunky, ponderous.

I will go look at it too. It is ranked 1st for the segment on several brit magazines.

Wife would go nuts and love this. She loves the "Jeep" look. Women.

We have a weird El Camino collector in the BMW club that would pay very good money.

VW Saviero.

If looking at a car exclusively for errand guy, it would work. there are other mini pickup choices down here like that. Take a look:

https://www.renault.com.mx/vehiculos/autos-particulares/oroch.html (this one looks interesting and I didn't even knew existed, but Renaults tend to be a reliability nightmare).

I think so. It seems we got it before you did.

[2o6]

Actually, the Dacia/Renault sounds like an interesting choice.

Yes. I just discovered it based on your Saveiro sugestion. The price is excellent. Very little money abive what we can get for the MINI.

[mzziaz]

Plus one one that Renault. It looks good and probably a pretty new design based on the new Duster.

[veeman]

Does the Honda Ridgeline look too lame?  It's the best driving pickup on road. Plus you're halfway to experiencing CRV...

[shp4man]

Mexico has had some interesting vehicles we never got. Check this one out:

Doesn't that end this discussion then?

No longer sold here new. A few used ones available.

Goddamn, Mexico gets some cool shit. I'd love to have one of those mini trucks for ~$15,000.

[MexicoCityM3]

Wife likes the Renault. We'll take a look.

Plus juan.

Well then you can eat the depreciation of whichever you buy once she sees one

[AutobahnSHO]

Hiluxes will last a bazillion years. I'm assuming you'll get A/C but you don't need the other silly stuff.

That's the appeal of the Hilux. A "forever" truck.

Not that kind of wife fortunately.

You can pass it down to Li'l Hector.

[r0tor]

I'm not sure how the answer to this isn't Raptor

[Raza]

What exactly are you planning on using the truck for? I'm unclear.

[veeman]

Errand guy during the day using the pickup buys some plants and pots them in Hector's garden.  Hector, in the evening, puts on his boots and sombrero and uses the pickup to take his kids out for ice cream.  The next morning Hector tells errand guy that if he could clean up some of the ice cream spillage of his kids that would be great.

At least that's how I envision it.  Honestly it's a really good plan.  BMW doesn't get ice cream stains, Hector gets to wear his boots and sombrero, errand guy has job security because his employer bought a new car for him to use, and Mrs Hector has two different types of cars to choose from for her commuting needs.
