Very

That new Hilux looks almost as gay as the new Mazda BT50s.

All this Euro emission standard rubbish is killing our vehicles. How can getting a smaller engine with a million turbo's and light weight everything, ever last as well as well as the bigger, less boost, built like a brick shithouse diesel from the late 90's.

Add to that Catalytic converters that crap themselves and cause your car to go into limp mode, or the ridiculous EGR valves that put exhaust gases into the fuel air mix, it's stupid.

Could probably make a fortune if you started a business that removed all this rubbish off the engine and turned into into something any man and his dog could fix.

2007 toyota hiace same as new hilux engine. Needs new ERG valve at 60,000k engine warning light first came on about this at 20,000k told no problem sheepishly. New ERG valve costs $1500 plus labour. FCUK TOYOTA'S OF THE FUTURE. Run fleet of 9 vehicles only one will be Toyota in future a 2000 Hilux, no ABS, turbo ed motor, can swim in 1 metre of water and more. Barry Crump must be cringing in his grave. Their new engines are junk.

Makes me want to buy a parts patrol just so I'm good for another 1,500,000 kms

Wow , you just gave me a " Blast from the past "
Remember when they drove off the cliff , landed at the bottom , and Barry rolled a fag while he waited for the dog to land in the tray .
Those were " Real Toyota's " .

After reading all this thread I'm really regretting selling my 89 hilux 18mths ago
We have a 2002 3.0 extra cab and it's ok as a farm truck. Better than the 2.5l Nissan.
A landcruiser would be a pain here, as you can't get around the switch backs without a three point turn

I put some tough dog shocks on with another 50mm lift, has made a massive difference

That bloody fly buy wires an absolute pain in the arse, got it in the Ranger and the Golf. Should be banned, reaction time, after it's check the computers OK and the wheels are still on, I only narrowly miss being tee boned time after time after time, better not to slow for roundabouts or stop signs!

The sheep shagger shape is where it really went pear shaped.

I was working at the Colenso advertising agency in early 80's when they were making those adds. They wreaked 5 utes making that add.
