    I am a Toyota man , so nothing I read , hear or see will change my view .
    I own 5 Toyota utes and have had a fantastic run out of them .
    The truth of it all is modern vehicles are light years ahead of those made twenty years ago in regards to power and comfort .
    What worries me though is the continuing move to electronics that are the best thing ever invented until your miles from the nearest road and you have no idea what is wrong let alone the ability of fixing it with a hammer and some cable ties .
    Get the Toyota

    There are manuals available too. Not really sort after so not many imported.
    The early '05 V6 models had no LSD for some stupid reason.

    There was a couple of utes built up by TNZ to the same specs as the Aussie trucks. TRD supercharger kit and bling slapped on etc.
    The price they would have been asking was waaaay too much anyone would want to pay so they didn't do any more. Dunno what ever happened to those trucks. Probably got stripped out.

    What cause the most problems on new / late model vehicles? Head gaskets? Cylinder Heads? Drive Line? Cooling System?

    NO - it's all that electronic stuff!
