anyone with a L200 warrior - cost to run, would you recomend? replies today please!!

i have l200 trojan 59 plate i take it to cambridge in both the multi story car parks no probb parking fine just sticks out a little bit at front no more that estate turning is fab fuel it does about 30 mpg it is light behing so should be spot on for towing just put some weight in it in winter i have my dogs in back to works fine for me
 
Got a 56 plate new shape. Does about 30 mpg and costs getting on to £80to fill up. This is used a lot for around the farm, short trips, long trips, so the mileage isn't bad. I can't see out of the back window and don't like taking it into town as it doesn't fit into most parking spaces very well. Got good wing mirrors.

OK for motorway driving, not like a car, but not bad for a long journey.

Towing - I have an old, large Richardson and one horse and I don't know it is on the back. I haven't done any long journeys with the trailer but it has immensely more power than my previous towing vehicle.
 
have not read whole thread and probably too late to be much help but be careful of 03 and 04 plates, engine failure fairly common on them. loved mine till it died at 108000 miles, got about 30 to the gallon, pulled a 510 with two horses alll over the country no problem. not much leg room in back for big passengers on a long run legs could get a bit cramped but ok for kids and dogs. Will definitely have another L200 when i have destroyed my current (ford) runabout.

look on L200 owners club forum for lots of info/advice.
 
check out the BHP, i have towed 2 with a L200 with about 138BHP and it struggles , in fact we were nearlly pulled backwards down a hill...!!

the nissan nirvana though is good and has about 180BHP and has so much more power.

not sure about the new 3ltr V6 but the 2.5s grenade the engine at about 70k
a friend had one had a lot of warrenty work and the engine failed at 68k he had a new one and that spent a lot of time in the garage must have cost nissan a fortune as he refused a micra loan car and had a land rover on hire for weeks...
 
Perce..

We took 2 big horses in ifor 510 to a comp in huddersfield and one of the hills, Well its got up but struggled. had all gear in back, tack, spare waterproof rugs, 2 full water carriers spare hay nets so was not alot of room to put anything else to weight it down.

no problem at all with one big horse.
