Nah pristine white pickup with lots of chrome
The 4wd vans I've seen all come with a little chimney pointing out the roof and a pair of surfboards. Thing is we are an hour from the sea.

I do like the look of the new Amarok, not sure I could stick a Ranger after knowing what the service is like at the Transit center where you have to take it. After having Navara's for so long, I'm used to a more civilised posh car experience and free coffee. Terms like "yes sir", "that's not a problem", and "we have cleaned your truck sir" etc. No such luck from Fords dealership....
Last Navara in 2018 was £22k plus vat. Don't think Ill ever buy a new pickup so cheap again sadly.
So I will be taking a look at the Amarok when its released, but also keeping a close eye on the Grenadier. Both seem to be dragging their feet to launch in the UK for some reason and I'd want to see how both fair for a year or so before I put my hard earned into one.
Otherwise I guess its the Hilux now they have put a better engine in it. (anyone own a new Hilux on here? Whats it like)

Ditto on all the above ... @Monkeybusiness bought a new 2.8 and has hopefully removed the chrome bits

This was when I collected our caravan with my old Navara. I never hitched it up to that pickup ever again - that journey was the absolute highlight of my traveller career to date!Nah pristine white pickup with lots of chrome

It’s a nice truck, thirsty though and I preferred my Navara to drive if I’m totally honest.
Was a big step up in price from the Nissan which (like @Gunners) was low £20s when I bought it in 2016 - this was £36k plus vat with NFU discount and they are now well over £40k I believe.
I’d honestly sell the Hilux before my van - it is better at pretty much everything!

Are they going to do a 7t gtw? I’ve got the 2019 3ltr and I love it . Only let down is it can’t legally tow enoughBit the bullet and reserved one and put deposit down.
