    Proper body on frame yoke or a crossover?

    2.0 diesel 4x4 Kuga in 4 seater commercial guise makes a good choice for farming.

    it depends on what you mean by farming but if you think you will be pulling trailers then farming and SUV do not work together. Get a Toyota Hilux with seats in the back.

    SUVs are not farm workhorses, the toughest work they tend to get is mounting curbs in supermarket carparks or pulling the occasional small trailer.

    If you need a farm workhorse that can be used both off and on the road then a Landcruiser is probably your best bet. They don't come cheap however.

    You'll do plenty tipping about with an 8x5 cattle trailer and something with a 2000kg braked towing capacity.

    That said a proper yoke is obviously gonna do a whole lot more.

    A Massey or perhaps a Zetor?

    I wouldn't have anything but a Land Rover or Range Rover. 3,500KG towing capacity, comfortable, great off-road and in my case extremely reliable. Spare parts plentiful from UK and great online forums/ community.

    If full time farmer pulling big trailer ect pick-up is best at you can keep cab Reasonably clean but muddy stuff in load bed . Dad has navara 2018 great jeep drive like a car pulls 14ft cattle trailer full like there almost nothing behind it
