Can you recommend a used pick-up?

I am looking for 2004-2005 pick-up 4x4 to use on my land to get animal feed etc. Which make and model would you recommend?

These are all older belt cam engines. As long as the belt is changed regularly then the Toyota HiLux has the best reputation. You might find a 2005 pre-DPF Nissan Navara 2.2 with chain cam engine. That's much nicer, but will now be ageing.

I want a small single cab pick-up truck, not as huge as a Ford Ranger or a Mitsubishi Warrior type but much more modest and lower to the ground. You mention pick-ups of the 1990s being a sensible size...
