Just to make this totally balanced.
I have the L200 and think it is brilliant. Hasnt missed a beat in the 2 years i have had it.
Did a 5 hour drive from South Worcestershire to Lockerbie in one stretch the other day and it was brilliant with 4 blokes, 3 dogs, rifle and shotgun each and stuff for a 5 day stay (not to say it wasnt a bit snug!)
I have tried the Hilux's and of the 2 it would have to be the 3 litre if i was going to get one.
If you do go for the L200 i would get a model with wider, extended wheel arches because it is a lot easier to get off road tyres in the larger sizes that will not fit without the wider arches (mine is the 4 life and doesnt have wide arches!)

Yep the Isuzu is the class leader for towing but remember, as far as Im aware a towball is only rated to tow 3000kg
*EDIT* ive double checked and a towball is good for 3500kg

but you forgot the Nissan NP300 in the list.has the engine in the np300 been changed since it was renamed from the d22,i had a d22 on a 52plate and it was the best towing truck i,ve ever had(3000kg)until the engine let go in a big way.looked at a np300 as a replacement but was,nt sure if the engine problems had been sorted,ended up buying a ranger thunder,its never missed a beat but is a bit high geared in first and reverse.
was told at the cla gamefair this year and also while stalking in linconshire
by a guy with his own fencing firm that they tow 3500 kg
I will ring our local main dealer tomorrow and report back
