    Yea, check the papers... That's on special - full retail is like 150k
    I would rather have one of those boxy ones 70 series they might be for like 80k and spend the balance on guns, boat, coke and hookers etc

    Raptor @ $160 is silly money.
    You could bring one in for under $100k

    I would love that Raptor!!
    I haven't heard anyone mention the new Colorado or even the Dmax... they both appear to be better than the Hilux. My (very) limited knowledge would say Ranger, Colorado or Dmax would be the go until Toyota pick up their game.

    This WAS Toyotas chance to pick up their game, and they have failed IMO

    Well hopefully they don't go down the road of their car-like Hilux... I know there are a lot of 4x4's, 2x4's etc that just go round the roads but not all of them do..
    Utes like this have got extremely popular with mum and dad type buyers for their weekend drives and I guess if that's the case, then that's what the manufactures are going to produce... a bit sad really...

    Yes its become a yuppie status symbol to have a 4wd .
    there is no denying utes are practical even if you never go off the tarseal. Unfortunatly for those who may actually take there 4wd into a no road situation most of it will be worse than a series one landrover capability wise.even if you had to carry 3 spare axels just to get there
    manufacturers worked out 10 odd years ago less than 5 percent off 4wds ever went off seal so why cater to that market.

    The way the OP drives I think he should stick to helicopters anyway.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
