Anybody got one or driven one? i've heard good and bad things about them but never actually spoken to anybody who owns one.
i'm after a pick up and they are the best looking ones imo, so just after general opinions.

Lad next door has one, black big wheels etc looks menacing tbh 
Wouldn;t fancy owning anything like that though unless it was a massive power v8 (f150?)...

my uncle had one, was very slow, but ok on fuel with the switch beteen for wheel drive and two wheel drive, his also had leathers and bulit in satnav which was useful, rear cab very small anyone over 5ft10 will struggle for legroom, if you get one make sure you get a cab cos the rear end is very small if only using the slider

i only want it for the practicality really since i'm getting on a bit.
the one i'm looking at is the 2.5 dci outlaw. only thing to do is take one for a test drive i suppose but thought i'd ask on here also.

Got one of the first in the country 2005 plate had a few problems just got 57 plate Aventura superb motor goes well and get around 30mpg. If you get an early one make sure it has been re called for rear wheel bearings,loose prop,towbar fitment i think that was it. If your not bothered about the leather , sunroof get the Outlaw and put a tom tom in as satnav is crap compared to tom tom.

Personally, I'd go for one of these:


May be consider a Ford Ranger? Prices seem good considering the spec, because no-one buys them due to image of other trucks.

Ford ranger are crap on juice and lots of problems with engines weve had two engines in, in two Rangers. Just my opinion mind you they are very quick but a handfull in the wet.
