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.

Oh I’ve just become a fatality!!

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 !!

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 !!

That’s the sound of Dingo’s dummy :D

So when you look at it even though he would like to think that he is in some way better than the Aussie Ford and Holden fans… because he follows a similar sport he is no better than the rest of us

At least our drivers actually have to change gear and contend with hairpin corners etc,, they don’t just drive round a huge bowl the way a pooh does when you flush your toilet

Could that be because as it stands Toyota aren't or haven't sold that many TRDs...?
given that they have reduced the price of the TRD Aurion
3-4 times and they are no longer selling them through selected dealers indicates that they're not selling that well unlike HSV or FPV [which unlike TRD have waiting lists for their cars]

Which means its hard to make such a comparison.

I mean you could take a TRD Aurion HSV Clubbie and FPV GT and those 3 cars mightn’t have any problems at all – alternatively you could take another TRD HSV and FPV all of which could have a mechanical problem of some sort

In the same way the ANCAP tests dont actually test the build quality or safety of a particular model car…. more like the safety of a particular car of that model. Your car might be unreliable etc but someone elses might be perfect.

How the f–k do you screw something to the wall with a steel capped boot? most professionals use a cordless driver drill or at least a trusty old screwdriver. Then of course theres a Nail Gun…. but that’s another matter

Thats just it! you challenge it because you consider or believe it to be wrong ill-informed misguided etc even though it may actually be right.

However; you get on the offensive [what am I saying; you're always on the offensive] when people challenge your views for exactly the same reason.. As proof there’s 100s of your replies which contain personal insults

I mean just because the majority of people don’t read the “Toyota Weekly” [or use it as their reference] doesn’t mean their views are any less founded or researched than yours.

At least the majority of people on here are willing and able to talk about cars other than Toyota instead of hijacking a blog to talk about their beloved make of car as it’s the only thing they know about cars

I can barely remember when we used to have civil friendly discussions about cars on this website and most of the time we stayed on topic…. Not any more

People have an opinion that is different to yours – that’s life…. get over it

OH WHAT A FEELING

ooooow, there it was again

V8 Supercars … what supercars – why waste the time and effort.

TMCA – what exactly were you saying about doing the brand no good … i love it, it just keeps getting better by the minute.

OH WHAT A FEELING

yeah – real sportsmanship that is … NOT !!

Seriusoly … why would Toyota enter the V8 Supercars because considering the sales of not only the Commodore and Falcon are at all times lows but so is Holden and Ford in general – what good is all that investment doing for them … NOT MUCH !!

Toyota without competing in the V8 Supercar series outsells Holden and Ford combined despite thier advertising most weekends of the year.

I believe Toyota’s investment in F1, NASCAR and other forms of motorsport would be alot more sensibly invested then in a sport that is obviuosly returning minimal gains.
