Looking at SUV's / 4x4 utes most of them are diesel need someone who knows how much the RUC's are to buy and the rego. I understand the rego is based on the number of seats the vehicle has now! just standard as 5 seaters how much would the rego be!

na rego is per class vans cars etc. a ute with only 2 seat is classed same as van 600$ a year i think not 100% sure cars is about 400$ Post what you need the 4x4 for as you are most times better off with a petrol engine these days.

you wont get anything for that money 4x4 suv still are 15 grand for good ones.what you would want is a nissan 4.2 turbo diesel safari, but i doubt you get one for 6 grand unless it is a rusty wrack.

up to 3.5 ton was 4 cent per km to work it out plus diesel need a additive unless you wish huge repair bills one day.

i see plenty of them towing though they cant be that bad im not planning on setting and land speed records and the towing would only be a fortnightly thing probably on average
intrade,
Apr 26, 6:00pm
then you want a petrol and no v6
creamkracker,
Apr 26, 6:02pm
would the 2.6L L200 or Bounty pull it! speed is not an issue but i would like it to be safe.
intrade,
Apr 26, 6:04pm
L200 is a mitsubishi and they are the worst thing electronic and engeneering wise. i supose you would also buy a automatic on top!
creamkracker,
Apr 26, 6:05pm

Don,t buy a Surf unless you want to sit on the floor. The drivers and front passengers seat are very low
