Hello Peter,
The lone Ranger hears you, fair enough, will do....
Right now, you lead the Pack for kms.... I think it is a brilliant little engine, and the lack of modern electronics makes it a very attractive option. STRUTH? I was even thinking about getting one for myself. Good economy, and I think they pulled as well as Landcruiser or Nissan Patrol or better when I drove one.. And I LOVE the fact that I could work on it myself, no electronics, no electronic shifting, nada, zero, zip... Love it.!! Struth? I was thinking about buying one that came up one the Internet, Dual Cab, with a Tray, and Hydraulic Lift gate, for $48,000 with low kilometres. While I was thinking, it sold, slow on the draw but thinking how nice it would be.... I like horse I can maintain myself.
I will let you know what I find out, but most only sort of drive 30,000 km a year and not enough of them around to find one with much more mileage on it than yours... I have only seen a couple for sale from Fleets like Utility or Government with upwards of 175,000 and still going strong. My first F-250, a military one out of Fort Ord, USA, a 1969 from memory, was a six cyl manual. Unbreakable Workhorse!
Will keep you Posted. Regards, Ranger
