Sorry, innovative or not, these saloon cab `trucks` are a bl88dy joke - here in the UK they are completely unnecessary, our roads aren`t big enough, parking spaces are too narrow, and most of them seem to be driven by Dick Heads who wouldn`t have a clue about off-road driving. Add to that, they have such a small cargo bay too - I couldn`t even get my fishing tackle in the back!

No, a new Transit Custom box van is far superior - more comfortable and will carry virtually anything, securely and out of sight.

I agree that F150 is very well thought out and offers a lot at the pricepoint.

The F-150 is brilliant in that it has a huge (and dry) secure storage area where the engine would normally be.


When you say 'saloon cab' I presume you mean dual-cab? And if so, are you suggesting my Defender 130 is pointless? Wash your mouth out!

  Vlad, the Defender 130 is a brilliant vehicle, when utilised for what it is built for and that doesn't include taking the kids to school or going shopping in i'm afraid! So many folks over here buy these vehicles as a status symbol - which is not what they're about. Most have never seen a dirt track - worse still, many are bought as a tax dodge and used as family run arounds.

I can still get more in a Transit !

DP, around here theyre like flies. 4WD/Dual Cabs maybe equal the cars. Doesnt stop there, so much money spent on accessories. I drive lots because we service lots. I dont trust myself in 4wd, reckon id end up in a bad situation, just would explore too far. I just keep my Corolla, serves me well. My workshop ute is a Ranger, bloody nice to drive. Hard to park. I wont ever get a big ute for personal use but they are the rage. So many women in them, schools, shops etc. Status symbols? I think the folks with the real big ones think that, Rams, Silverados, Tundras. Others have become just daily drives. Just my view.

Anyone interested in having a go on a battery bike and live close enough to Fowlers in Bristol should go there on 21 and 22 of this month.  They are having a couple of "ZERO" days with dems all day on both days.  I believe there will be at least two of every bike in the range so you should be able to get out on a couple.  I have nothing to do with Fowlers.
