    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.

    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.

    The modern Hilux is not designed for New Zealand hunters and farmers. It's designed for the American on road market. Try and prove me wrong...

    Toyota are trying to fool New Zealand into thinking they still are good. We get the white SR5's leased for $520 a month; now why wouldn't you?

    I like the Fords best.

    .
    Toyota stopped thinking about and designing the Hilux for farmers in 1997 when they changed from the solid front axle and moved to independent front suspension . That was to improve its on road handling to keep the weekend warriors and ski field access road racers happy .
    The Landcruiser is really the only true off the beaten track workhorse left in their lineup . But for some reason they never really pushed them in NZ , I don't know about now maybe its changed .
    My favourite Hilux is my oldest , a 1996 ( last year of the solid front axle ) dual cab 2.8D .
    I just spent 3 Grand repainting her and tidying her up , she has done 350,000km and I'll keep her till the day I die .
    In a few more years she will be a classic car .Every year there a less of them on the road as time and young fella's destroy them , in another 15 -20 years I'm going to be the crazy old guy driving one of the few remaining real Lux's left

    Toyota doesn't listen to the needs/wants of NZ as we are such a small market for them.
    That and the worlds crash ratings and emission shit that we get stuck with means we have little or no choice in what we can get.
    It would be nice to have a basic model with no carpets, no abs/trc/vsc/srs, electrics that would be a real work horse. But then people are expecting more bling on each newer model now.

    Cruisers didn't become the farmers choice, quite like Hilux did, as they are heaps bigger, have a turning circle of a super tanker, only came in single cab, cost twice as much, and they ride like a bucking bronco with no weight on the back.
    Now the double cab Cruiser is out, they can't get enough of them in the country.
    But then the stupid electric diff locks crap out at the first sign of water near them. And they now have ABS and SRS as std on all models.
    Nothing basic even on them any more.

    There are countries that can still get basic models in the Hilux and Cruiser ranges.
    NZ not able to access them though. We don't have enough sand and machine guns to mount on the decks.
