l200 as work vehicle, practical? seriously
« on: January 12, 2008, 09:33:00 pm »
would they be practical, i got excited about the thought of getting one, but then everyone...especially the wife thinks its a stupid idea

admitidly, i want something bigger than my pug partner, but also the added advantage of the extra seats is a biggie to me.

ecomnically? if i didnt get one of these id be looking at a transit, so how would they compare?

as ive said a nice tank custom fit in the back pickup part, then pole carriers on roof

seriously, how practical are they? everyday working out of and family car now and then

I`ve looked into it and there`s not enough room even with a custom tank.

What a waste of a vehicle,if you buy a double cab there`s not enough room and the double cabs look by far the best.Have you seen how much room is left in the back with a double cab,not a lot.I looked at one without rear seats and still didn`t feel there was enough room,it`s to nice to use for work i`d rather buy a new trafic-vivaro they are perfect for WFP.

Look sod what everyone else thinks if you think its practical go for it.
I did insted of having two cars and a van we now have one car and  the l200 double cab so when i pick the kids up from school or where every i dont have to go back home to get the car . If we go out anywhere we go in the l200 it seats the five of us well and in the back icarry 400l tank reel and all the other crap you end up carrying around and dont listen to them go on about feul consumson whats better l200 or having another vechical for carrying the family round in that will cost you more ?

I have an ex aa vw transporter.  Seats in the back for kiddywinks and a 500lt tank in the rear.  No car needed.  If I started again from scratch I'd go for a twincab pick up.  It is big enough if set up properly and they look good for business or pleasure.  If you want one, get one.  
This forum is great for asking opinions but alot of people on here think that they know best.  At the end of the day if it suits you go for it.

If you get one dont forget to post some pictures of your set up

Partly right NWH.

They're for farmers to put sheep and bales in, and think they look posh, when actually they look like complete tools. ;D

They've got to be the most ugly looking vehicles around too.

When will the oddities learn?
It's for fields. ;D
