Can you suggest a pick-up for me?
I have 2005 Nissan Navara for towing a 2.5 ton trailer. I find the leg room very small, the ride harsh and the rear seats unusable. Can you recomend any vehicles that can replace the Navara? Budget £8000- £13000.
It wil be a company vehicle for tax reasons, so can not be a standard Discovery or 4x4 estate car.

Do you mean this Navara:

Or the old one?
But, as ran this week in the column, I rate the I-TEQ 2.5 or 3.0 diesels and 5 speed manual in the Isuzu Rodeo Denver / D Max / Chevrolet Colorado as the best pick-up drivetrains.
But, because it is built to carry 1 ton you will never get decent ride quality in a pick up.
All you can hope for are decent seats, which you also get in the Isuzu.
