Title: What's your work car?
Post by: scarpsD40 on February 06, 2015, 11:25:32 PM
So we know what you drive as your weekend warrior truck, but what vehicle has your work given you and is it any good?
Include a pic.

2009 D-Max LS-M dual cab with hi-top canopy.

One day I'll set it up as my "stand-by" CT tug.

Great engine and gearbox (manual) just a pity it rides like a sulky!   ;D

My main tug has self leveling air suspension in the rear and is sooooo much more
comfortable for distance driving.

2012 Hilux dual cab
Goes like a hilux dual cab, ;D  the standard tyres leave a lot to be desired, not as good on fuel as I would expect but I don't really care because The Fuel card is awesome.
Compared to the patrol I find the hilux a bit skittish, it feels very light to drive and can get a bit scary on wet roads but i put that down to the standard tyres.
Otherwise quite a good truck

I get to drive 3 vehicles, sometimes I sit behind the wheel of all three in a days work.
Isuzu 4.6 manual flat bed, Goes like the clappers when empty, a snail when fully loaded, has the best radio out of all 3.
Triton 4x4 turbo tray back Manual , does alright but iI won't own one.
The managers Triton dual cab style-side(Same donk as the tray back ute but an auto), Oh God it is soft. It jumps across the road on uneven road surfaces, light in the arse end and a death trap in the wet. Don't like it at all  >:D
Love sitting my arse in my 80 series 1hdt at the end of the day and cruising home. 8)
