UK Pickups - reviews

[Left hooker]

One thing that I've been pondering about this : if you're towing a trailer no matter what you drive you have to stick to the 50 mph limit. However once you unhook the trailer in a van you're still stuck with the 50mph limit but with a double cab pick up you seem to get away with 60mph or national speed limit. I'm sure the letter of the law states commercial vehicles are 50mph but most pick ups sit at national speed limits with no issues.

You can dual perpous a vehicle in its tax classification so higher speed limits are obtained

Only if it weighs under 2040kg unladen

Just a double cab with a load space rather than rear seats

To be fair I had the rear seats in my pickup folded over all the time anyway , at least like that it’s a useable - lockable space!

Why keep glass in the back windows? Same as the defender commercial why have glass in the rear door

My def commercial still has glass in the rear windows, it just has a panel covering it on the outside.. it’s just to make manufacturing process as simple as possible.
*the glass is etched so you can’t just ping off the outside panel and make it a 5 seater without replacing the glass first!
If that Isuzu a factory fit or dealership aftermarket kit out? Can’t see anything on the official website that’s all…

I'd hazard a guess someone had a shedload in stock after 1st of April
