Interesting as a few people have said that the 1.9l engine is pathetic towing up hills but others say it's not. Getting a test drive is very tricky.

I love my old truck but sadly not enough money or space to keep both. L200 definitely on our list we've just never had one

That's useful info thanks

I kinda discounted hilux because it's likely to be out of my price range compared to other trucks, but good to know!

No I love having an automatic to tow and ideally wouldn't go back to a manual unless an amazing deal price wise

Yes we get that already with the rodeo/511 combo! Luckily I'm pretty good at reversing

We're looking at replacing my trusty 06 isuzu rodeo this year. Nothing wrong with it just my husband wants a newer one that he can rely on a bit more when I'm out alone. I don't quite get it a it's never broken down on me but hey! So I'm looking at an 18 plate onwards pickup. Isuzu 1.9L Isuzu...

I've ordered the slightly cheaper one just to try it out and see how we get on. Fingers crossed!! And thanks for your help

Thanks guys that's been really helpful. I have 2 horses so they would be travelling together 90% of the time and I would take the partition out if only one horse travelling. The hunt for a trailer continues!

I never thought of reversing off. I know this trailer has more space up front to unload than an IW, but reversing off may be an option.

Can you elaborate please? I'm interested in actual potential practical issues rather than personal preference.

Hi all, I'm looking at a trailer but I can't afford an IW. The one I've seen has a fixed partition which means you can't move it to unload the furtherst away horse. I think it has a bit more room at the front than an IW but I've never used a trailer like this. Does anyone else have a trailer...

Ah ok. DOn't think my local countrywide sells micronised linseed so will need to shop around I think.

what does linseed actually do? Is it high in sugar as have natives so have to be careful of lami. Also is there a difference between linseed oil and micronised linseed?
