    Towing capacity I think can be misleading . 3 ton towing , doesn't mean it has the power more about stopping ! . I've said it before a builder gave his 2 ltr amorak to his wife because it was under powered towing his trailers and boat !

    They just get uglier and uglier don't they?

    One of my flatmates is a Toyota Technician and he reckons some of the new Hilux's are pretty rubbish.
    They should just go back to making the LN106.

    Its the reality of todays world, everything is made to be chucked away, not made to last.

    I wouldn't get a current model Hilux unless your a desperate Toyota man. their braking system has gotten worse not better since the model started 7+yrs ago and haven't got close to catching up with the most of the current crop of utes. Sold the hilux last year went to an Amarok but would choose a Ranger if doing lots of towing.

    I have a brand new ford ranger for work. If it does all that my last ford ute did I will be very happy. But my own personal ute is a early hilux which has just done the gearbox.
