4x4 advice needed
G'day all,
Looking for some local advice....
I'm moving over your way soon and will need to buy a vehicle. After doing a fair bit of internet surfing, it seems most of the 4x4 trucks seem to be petrol powered (gas)
Ideally I'm after a Turbo Diesel Intercooled, is there anything on the market around the size or slightly smaller than an F150 with a Diesel donk?
We had the F250's available on our local market (Australia) for a few years during the 2000's, these came with either a 4.2L Cummins 6 cylinder or the 7.3L V8 Diesel. They weren't a bad vehicle, but the 7.3L was heavy on fuel.
I have attached a photo of my current drive, it's a Mazda BT50 (B3200P), it has a 3.2L 5 cylinder diesel and 6 speed manual and is slightly smaller in every dimension than the F150. Are these available over there under a different badge? They are also sold here with a Ford badge and marketed as a Ranger.
I'm thinking an F150 with gas V8 is about where I'm going to be, but interested to find out if I've missed something I should look at.
