L200's are good trucks, my dads on his second one now a Warrior one but its only for work. Wouldnt like one to use instead of a car though, they aint too comfortable and if you get the leather seats you tend to slide around a bit coz they aint very supportive

Think they look lovely in black... been obsessed with this idea since the weekend...
Is doing my head in when going on home visits to patients houses etc... and I arrive in a wee corsa, they all take the piss!  Maybe will go a test drive see how I find it...

Yeah, I've got one
They aint the fastest or most comfortable motor in the world but they are nice.
I Dont know about the new 05 model, but on the 04 models the Animal had air con & ABS and the Warrior didnt. The only thing the Warrior had that the Animal didnt was a diff lock.
I've had mine just over a year now and im still pleased with it, can just chuck the quad, jetski, fishing gear ect... on the back and off I go

Dad had the mazda B2500. Was great to drive and more torque than the warrior. It had the chequerplate sills on it as standard which make a big difference. Got the windows tinted and a black load liner in the back and it looked really tidy.
They are hefty on deisel though but who cares, its easy to go sideways in them.  I've driven a warrior too and thought the mazda was much better.

Mate ahs got one...lovely cars...nice and big...does what most 4x4's will do...quite heavy on the juice but you would expect that being a big truck...
Nice car...only thing my mate complains about is the full lock on them isnt that good...

Warrior = £21,118.30 on the road
Animal = £23,468.30 on the road
VAT is the fcuker if buying new (unless you can claim it back)
My insurance is £714 f/c this year with NFU, was £1000 last year with same company 
I get about 300 - 350 miles to a tank (about £45), but they do drink it if you put your boot down

L200's are meant to hardly deprieciate, A friend bought one new 18k and there was one a year old but with leather and it was still dearer than the new one, Something like that anyway. I suppose its a plus point for the dealer services being so expensive.
