Me too. In the process of getting quotes for a new one as of last Friday. Hopefully will get it in Dec or Jan have to see what the offers are from the various dealers.

I believe a few of the mining companies are starting to use them. Also the Army have ordered a few so I heard from someone.

A friends son has one he uses for Hunting trips here in WA. Reckons it's a pretty good unit and economical to boot.

hello Mike & ellie

have got a lot of replies from exploreoz forum which highlites a few problems regarding WDH so it is good to get feedback

I got a good price from a dealer in Warrnambool but it was for one day only and I wanted to get another second price but he told me not to bother to come back, so hows that for service

Need to keep looking and getting info

hi Ken, something to throw into the mix, Ford's new Ranger (out sometime this year) is meant to be a 5 cylinder 3.2 liter TD with a tow capacity of around 3.4 ton. I don't know any more than this of it, but could be an option to look at.

If it's as good as the Ranger we have then you would be really pleased with it, we are

I tookone for a test run two weeks ago and the thing went like a rocket compared to my Navara. They had a truck load delivered pre-release and all were sold except one that they were keeping for a demo. Not too flash on the discount either as they were selling well, so I'll wait a while and see how the price goes. Anyway you look at it,it's much less than the hurt from a LC 200 series

This thread is over a year old deb-gary. A bit late as Ken has already bought his new vehicle. Some time back.
