They're all as bad as each other though. Hiluxs rot away worse than any disco and Nissan, depending which one you get either blow up for sport or pop gear boxs or crack chassis's. I'd take the l200 over either of them and an Isuzu over that.I’m Hilux now, was Nissan before. My mechanic told me avoid L200’s at all costs he described them as complete
check the chassis, go over it with a fine tooth comb.....no doubt one of the previous owners could have abused it with salt water or maybe deer stalking 
......I was the second owner of my l200, the original owner was a hire car company, it only had motorway miles and the chassis was fresh so I preserved it by getting it undersealedOut of interest what did you use for the underseal.Yes yes and yes
Its was cleaned and degreased, coated with 2 coats of rust inhibitor, then undersealed with dinitrol
.......I'd take that over anything else....... below is a pic after 2 years and it still has a protective layerCheersIts was cleaned and degreased, coated with 2 coats of rust inhibitor, then undersealed with dinitrol
Nice!Cant beat the pimped out JIMNY in my book

I've taken it on some pretty steep and muddy ground on my friend's Alpine farm and in locked 4 wheel drive it has impressed me. I've also seem a lot of vids of what they are capable of. Not as tough as a Hilux or Land Rover but well above the capability of most SUVs. Cheap too. I've also fitted three bikes in the back with the front wheels off and one rear seat occupied so it has fairly decent luggage space.I call bull****, where's your bf Goodrich tyres?I live up in the Austrian Alps, at about 3000ft, and the Jimmy's have always been incredibly popular. But in recent years the most common car you seem to see is the Dacia Duster. On our small road there are now 7 of them, you often see them up in the high farms and also as mountain hut cars used to ferry people and supplies to the higher huts (4500ft) on pretty rough winter gravel roads. I got one this year, it's surprisingly good at driving between Austria and the UK, and has survived Buckinghamshires potholes
Full winters make much more sense over there. It's either rocky or snow 🏔I call bull****, where's your bf Goodrich tyres?
Good man ......just remember to crawl underneath it and have a good look around for rust.......also it's more beneficial if it's an automatic.......the manuals had an issue of jumping out of third gear at increased rpm, the older ones jumped out of 2nd gear at high rpm
I have manual money lol
......in all seriousness I crawled under at least 11 l200s before finding the right one ........ I bought mine from story 4x4 in Falkirk, the guy buys hire vehicles in bulk most of them are from rental car companies
Think what you like, this was a honest opinion from a man I trust who’s had his own garage for 30+ years.
