I'm looking at replacing our towcar and decided a Pickup would suit our needs best, but I don't have a lot of experience with them.

Our budget is around 7k so it looks like a 2003/4 model, need something that will tow well, that isn't too agricultural looking and can be used as a day to day vehicle.

I did have my heart set on a Navara but our budget only stretches to a D22 and after reading about the engine issues I'm being a little careful and considering other options.

Has anyone got any recommendations or suggestions please?

It is possible that a pickup is subject to the lower commercial speed limits.  I believe it is, although I am not certain.

Best to check first.

I've got an L200 Warrior double cab. It's a lovely pickup. I use it for work & towing the caravan if we take both cars & I'm returning home to go to work. Pretty much we consider it as our second car. We decided which pickup to buy by going to the NEC caravan show which is on this month. All the manufacturers were there & we tried getting in all of them. At the time, only the L200 offered the amount of rear seat legroom we need for our tall kids while allowing me to have the driver seat set right back because I'm also tall.

If you're buying new you'll get a good deal, if you're buying used, buy one with full service history & as long as the servicing was done in a VAt registered workshop using manufacturers parts & it's within the required mileage you can buy warranty from Mitsubishi for up to three years. Mine's three years old in march & I'll be buying the warranty because I like the pickup & it does everything we need of it.
