Thread: 4WD / Family Car

Ok here is my say on the matter. We are on a country block, 32h, with some nice hills, 70deg is the steepest, so 4wd is needed. We love camping and fishing and tow our caravan, and we also tow a duel axle 8x5 trailer, and no not at the same time
I have been in the Auto industry for the past 20years or so and know that you cant go past Toyota for 4wds, A) they are built strong, B) they are reliable, C) they are never under horse powered, D) they have a good resale value.
We went for the 2007 Hilux ute, manual, 5 seat, with a canopy, 3ltr Turbo Diesel. The turning circle is good for parking and doesn't drive like a tank, my mrs likes to drive it city or country roads, when in 4wd you do loose the tight turning circle.
The spare parts are readily available and these are the same units as sold in the Australia.
