Your all f&%cked in the head.

Its a car over priced yes but you want more power in the bush buy it, you want to blow someone of the lights buy a Maloo.
Put it in perspective yes Toyota should not have branded this truck under the TRD banner and i think 5k cheaper would be a fair price but who gives a sh*t people i have met who own one of these say its a ball tearer of a hilux not a maloo a hilux.

Goes great off the road cant compare it to the daily driver for performance on the road but it was never meant to just a better performing dual cab ute.

I came to this site to find some informative criticism on this vehicle but obviously none of you have driven this car or are even remotely interested in an off road vehicle
the review was good but not as indepth as it could be. F&%king bunch of know nothing posers.

That goes for the TOYO fan too.

Does anyone know of road legal good looking rims that fit 2005-2008 4X4 hilux dual cab. looked at procomp but offset too large giving 4o mm track variation limit of 25 mm permitted NSW. also can speedo be recalibrated for larger wheel diameter

What else has there been lately – MOTOR reported brake fade on a HSV after a single lap, The HSV wagon (or SS – what ever it was) that suffered brake failure and resulted in a crash, WHEELS testing of a FPV about 6 mths ago but was cut short when the car decided it was ‘GAME OVER’ and not restart … the list can endlessly continue. This is just on the very top of my head without taking a minute to think of a many, many more.

Oh yeah – what about the fact that MOTOR reported 12 faults with 12 different variants of the VE Commodore they tested not to mention the rather lenghthy list of recalls and quality issues that have been indentified and reported associated with the VE Commodore.

Would you like me make a list … i rest my case !!

Wheels July 2008 pg 54 – HSV and FPV both breakdown on track day … AGAIN !!

Why is that when a Commodore or HSV is reviewed or taken to the track they are reported to have brokendown, identified with faults or bare minimum a complaint is lodged about quality issues … it is an all to often and regular occurance.

The latest edition of WHEELS has highlighted my point … AGAIN !!

Todate, 1 TRD Aurion failure has been reported yet over the years, hundreds of failures have been reported with HSV’s and FPV’s and nothing remains any different today and that is the RAW TRUTH … no-doubt painful for some clowns to accept but it doesn’t change the facts – not even remotely.

First quote of the sentance “It seems that HSV’s and track day just don’t go together”

Buy the magazine and read the rest – what a joke !!
