Hi,PEM, just my input,lots of my pals went down the same route,but you cannot get one vehicle that does ALL duties well. The Navara is a good yoke,but long items such as ladders end up on some roof rack creation or sloped up out of the pickup like an IRA pipe bomb,your expensive items get dumped over the rear seats or in the rear where you crawl in like a cornish tin miner.You can set them up for rear side access,but now it's a van with the cupboards on the outside,and emptying it dosent give you back a pickup. I went for the full size 4 WD years back,and work out of the rear,it takes 10 mins to get 5 seats,and 20 mins for 7 seats to appear,it tows the 3.5 tonne trailer and does me fine. My friend,who is a farrier,set up his Navara for the shoeing job,and it is now,he says,ideal.The down side is it looks like the child-catchers carriage from Chitty chitty Bang bang...It's all about what you are happy compromising on,and then getting on with it. Good luck :devilish:
