[QUOTE="deepblue, post: 630351, member: 1702"] The review put forward by rustyhooks is very good. There are a couple of items that it does tend to over look. Such as diesel / unlead fuel you can't take a unlead fuel on certain sites, nor can it be purchased. Also as a past user of many of the types of twin cabs mentioned. In the outback certain models if they break down, can end up being wait of many weeks for parts situation unless you intend to carry a very big range of spares. The main consideration should be also the driver comfort, I have seen many new twin cabs purchased for the workers sitting in the staff car park used only for short trips as they are too uncomfortable for the long haul trips( D-Max) the worst offender here. Don't forget if you modify the engine specs by chip mods unless agreed by manufacturer the can void the warranty. There have been reasons why the big mining companies have stuck by certain brands it's not just price alone. Remember if you do purchase a model that is not very common the chance of the next mechanic down the road knowing how to repair it might be small. The best advice I can give is do your research and drive as many different models as possible before buying. Just my 2 cents worth owner and user of 4wds for over 40 years and user of 4wd drives in mining and construction 40 years in the Pilbara, Kimberly's, QLD and SA. [/QUOTE]
