HI everyone
Sorry this is a bit of a long one but here it goes ....
I recently joined your forum and i have been reading night & day my head is buzzing with all the information on here. ( Its all becoming a bit of a distraction from work, better be careful lol)
I am looking to buy a 130 Crew-cab Pickup for the following reasons
1, I can sign wright it up for my business
2, I can carry some of the equipment that we install to site as opposed to using curriers.
3, It will be of great benefit come the summer as we are intending to do quit a bit of caravanning / camping with the kids. (Better than using the transit this year)
4, Important- While towing the caravan we can carry either the jet ski or quads in the back.
I have read on here that the turning circle is sh1t but I'm sure i can live with that. The rear springs can be adopted to suit your use i.e. remove the inner spring to make it more comfortable under lighter loads this can only be a good thing.
But this leads me to my big questions
1, Is driving the 130 similar to driving the 110 in terms of comfort ? ( I realise its longer & possibly heavier& turning circle aside.
2, Which model is best 200tdi, 300tdi or the newer models with the Transit style engines ?
3, Has the suspension / handling improved on the newer models or is it mainly Engine / controls upgrades with the same running gear ?
I have searched the forum but not come across this information and if i have missed it i apologise in advance. Your expertise & input is much appreciated..
