I'm not sure that cars like that even come with a manual option do they? Big 4x4s I mean.

Why would you want a manual 'box in a *huge* 4x4 diesel pickup truck with mountains of big-turbo-diesel torque? I ain't going to be heel and toeing that thing.

Stick it in D and off you go.

Mate, if you got an adjustable lift kit, you could be wrong ON SO MANY LEVELS.

I looked at some 4x4 websites cos I didn't know the answer to this, and came across the Range Rover Sentinel. Holy Cow, a bullet proof Range Rover - they're really targeting the drug dealer and 3rd world dictator celebrity market.

We found that out on the LR drive day Mrs C and I did.
Just checked - yup, you can't even order an Amarok with anything less than a 3-litre diesel engine, as mated to an 8-speed auto and permanently engaged four wheel drive. (The 2 litre version has been binned off)

"The Terrorists choice"

There's the option of a manual gearbox in Oz for the Amarok.

Proper men those Aussies.

For a "Chuck stuff in the back and not care if you back it into a tree" car, the Hilux is nearly perfect.

That said, I'd take a Ford Ranger.

Cavey · **Posted:** Thu Mar 02, 2017 18:10

Smacking it into a tree would probably improve it... I'm just not into Jap stuff.

As for the Ranger, I like them too, but the engine is pretty pants/inefficient (last I checked the spec)
I am a sucker for German design, engineering and build quality.

Cooking pizza is dull though. Find me one with a smoker on the back and I'm all in.

We could fit a smoker to that bad boy in an afternoon, man.

Add in a scoop and you could drive it around if the temps were too low!

Are you allowed to drive around a vehicle that has things on it that are technically on fire?

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu Mar 02, 2017 18:29

Sure. Engines have littles fires in them.

While I too love my BMWs, Jap engineering and build quality is streets ahead of anything the Germans have ever offered IMO.

I don't know, but people do. Mobile hog roasts are often cooking while being driven to the event - you can smell them if you're lucky

Plus if the police pull you over you just bribe them with delicious BBQ.
