Anyone use one instead of a van? Is it worth it or best to stick to a van?
Reason I ask is that I'm looking for another van and considering using one of these

[Crystal-clear]

I asked this question A while ago, basically been told they drink far to much fuel and ain't a comfortable drive I wanted to combine it as a social car as i like the look and work horse but basied on what I have been told is only get it if you need to drive on grass often so quite disappointing as I was hoping to hear better

[paul ette]

Just looked you can get specially made tanks for them , thought it would be good rather than a boring van, not really practical tho I spose

[Topclean]

I have a barbarian, love it, drives lovely,  driven carefully its nots that bad on fuel.  After a 500ltr tank and a couple of reels doesn't leave much room for anything else but has the 5 seats.

but he didn't need a RAMs

What sort of payload does one of them have

[paul ette]

there over 1000kg

[Bill.upnw]

Niceeee! Decent if alls you use is wfp, but if gutter baca and geneartors, powerwashers ext, no good

[PoleKing]

My brother has one. He loves it!
Only downside for him is that the poles won't go in the load space.
He used to have tubes on top but didn't like them for security, he sticks it through the cab now at an angle

We have an Animal.

Brilliant bit of kit, we use it for pressure washing, gutter work, and more.

Versatile enough for many things, but not as practical as a van.

Wrong wrong wrong . I have a 60 plate L200 Trojan and you maybe looking at an older model L200 but they are built like tanks IMHO i know a few fellow owners that have no complaints at all .



I get about 30-35 mpg that is fully loaded with 500kg with short drives as you would expect . Mine does 99% tarmac driving and after 30 months of ownership i would not have any other truck . Mike

500kg payload is weak

I have a warrior. 500l tank fits perfectly in between wheel arches. I get 350-370 miles per tank(£80). Mine has been brilliant and had it since new. Its a 53 plate with 135k. Have just changed clutch for first time. Changed the front brakes for time time 2 months ago and back brakes still have 70% left according to the garage. Not bad considering I carry that much weight. Will be getting another one soon to add to the fold.

[Bill.upnw]

Whats the payload on ur warrior will?

[Mike #1]

500kg payload is weak

Payload is 1.2 ton , Fully loaded i carry 500kg or 1/2 ton . Mike

[Mike #1]

All double cab  L200's are the same with regards to payload and load bed size , The difference in the purchase price for different models is because of the interior finish and alloys etc . Mike

I have an L200 with a payload of over a ton. I've got a 500litre tank in it and may well buy another in the summer if things keep growing as they are. One works out of it most of the time, but you can do two men perfectly if you need to.

I've got an L3 H2 Citroen Relay as well for the other stuff we do like pressure washing and gutter cleaning. I don't have to put roof bars on my L200 then. It's got a 1000litre tank in it for window cleaning too.

I love my L200. It's thirsty, but for what we do, it pays.

[Mike #1]

Really good to hear you are enjoying your L200 Steve . Mike
