Please advice if the cars are second-hand or are brand-new

Just got the hilux 08 SR dual cab, huge 15 inch steel wheels with bicycle tyres, vinyl floor? yes vinyl floor carpet is an option and this time round got the V6 auto. The last model 06 turbo diesel needed to has the tits revved off of it to get anywhere. Want to overtake in a diesel? forget it, couldn’t pull the skin off a custard tart. P.S. its a work car and I’d rather be driving something else, like a falcon ute.

Realcars,
but dont forget the 4.0L jap motors chew twice the fuel that the falcons 4.0L does.

i would have said the diesels are better to drive than the V6 jappers. at least the diesel dont send you as broke, and you dont spend 3/4 of the time with them revving their ring off

Only good model in the lineup is the dual cab 4*4 SR5 4.0ltre. The 4*4 dual cab models have a better ride and look good with the extra ride height.

Take the rest to the tip please.

I have driven a 2.7 workmate single cab 4*2 and it was a crude cramped shitbox.

“In fact the Hilux range as a stand alone model Probably sells more than Mazda or Honda’s whole range each year.”

WRONG ……again (or is that sitll?)

Well, I downloaded the Spec’n from Toyota’s web site and guess what… the Workmate’s auto is a 4-speed. All the other models get a 5-speed! I suppose Toyota are just running out old gearbox inventory from someplace and think that tradies, the perceived workmate buyers, are either too dumb or too indifferent to notice and/or care. Pretty insulting really. More worrying is the way I correctly guessed that it would be an inferior unit simply because the CarAdvice reporter omitted the facts rather than report the mediocrity of the unit. Don’t expect motor columnists to report without fear or favor or you are in for many a disappointment!

Danman,
yep, i have driven hiluxs aswell as pretty much all of its Jap ute brothers.
all jap utes are pigs to drive no matter of the make, and YES including the Hilux.
