all those vehicles you chose dont allign with your profession

toyota sequioa = toyota Tundra

Nissan Pathfinder = Nissan Navara/frontier

Hyundai Terracan = No substitute

What you need is a truck for the farm as it would make carrying tools and instrument easier on a truck than an SUV

but if you insist, the Pathfinder wins it here, the toyota lose because of its V8 engine and massive body side so the V8 pathfinder is even more efficient not to talk of the V6 pathfinder. I left the terracan because of its a rear breed, changing parts may be costly and expensive as it is rear on our roads.

He should consider the Toyota 4runner too

I believe the Pathfinder thumps here by some advantage over the 4runner. Bigger power, more trailer power, better cargo space, 3rd row seat. just to mention a few

Will be banking on the Toyota for its reliability and cost of maintenance

the pathfinder is a tough dawg, its not a car you want to under estimate

Sure, it's one of my favorite.. It depends on OP now.. Toyota, u can always bank on it, pathfinder, a tougher guy. Funny enough, both are comfy inside, especially d pathy

If you can find a 4 cylinder Tacoma or Frontier you will have the appropriate truck but if you are thinking of heavy duty without fuel cost consideration you will have to consider F150, Tundra, Silverado, and Ram 1500.

Those listed are the best selling 1.5 ton trucks

FUNNY ENOUGH i encountered this pathfinder around 2012 or so, a neighbor imported two accidented and joined them together till today he uses the car and it was 2months ago i saw him changing the rear drive train. I respect the pathfinder more than the Toyota as i like anything with 3rd row seat

You mean imported 2 salvage to use one as donor for the other, how can shipping and clearing of 2 scraps make financial sense

Remind the OP to be very very very and very wary of that coolant licking into transmission issue o.

princetom1:

05 to 10 or so

nurey:


05 to 10 or so

Ok, if op decides to get the 2006, am hoping it will be a Tokunbo sha with the transmission issue already sorted

sultaan:

to you it may not, to him it did. he must have sold the second one as scrap both vehicles were intact one had a front side crash, i guess the second was a flooded car not too sure. Any way only one was left after the abracadabra.

Also i did a finding on second gen volvo and it was way cheaper to import two accidented vehicle for 2.5m 05-10 than buy an out right tokunbo

princetom1:

no he shldnt

after careful considerations he has arrived at these 3

so,why suggest something the man doesn't need

I too know dey worry u

I just widen his search, like that sequoia is a no no in my book. Sometimes u think u have narrowed down ur search bt in reality, u just start

I really appreciate the suggestions. I also intend to double the sub as a family car and for long journeys. From all indications Nlanders are advising I go for the pathy. Thanks, u guys are the best.

You should give serious considerations to the 4Runner in 4WD, even though it's not on your list.

Good luck.

Dear gurus
Which of the below pick up trucks would you choose if you had a choice

1) Ford F - 150
2) Toyota Tundra
3) Toyota Tacoma


Models for all are 2008 and above basically for town running and occassional long trip. Thanks

Thanks nurey and Egun Mogagi, I will surely consider those suggestions. A friend was suggesting the Kia sorento, what's ur take on that guys?

Sorento should be left for now, something about the V6 engine having issues.

The tacoma is good enough, the others just beat it interms of trailer load (which you may never use in nigeria) and they can carry more load than the tacoma especially the long bed ones. Besides Using that ford and tundra in some narrow road can be tricky considering their curb weight and elephant ear side mirrors

Thanks nurey I sure will watch out.
