    Hilux hybrid, price wise is getting to be the more affordable Ute, agree ranger is nicer to drive and dmax definitely have better interiors and test drove them all, but for a driver prospective the more basic controls of the hilux worked well for me. And all in with what accessories I fitted come to still be cheaper.

    No noticeable differences to the previous model other then better start stop. Fuel mileage marginally better, but bigger tyres and bar add weight and cost.

    Yeah went in today..my trade in was about 1..2k less than I easter so I didn't buy.. I'll await there chase up call and see what comes tomorrow. Going for manual sr5 canopy towbar liner etc. But the tow bar i can gwt from local towbar guy for half the price so that's always a option.

    At the end of the day, every major brand has its share of stories about how unreliable their vehicles can be. Take the Ranger, for example—you’ll hear plenty of complaints. However, when you compare the number of issues to the sheer volume of units sold, the percentage of problems isn’t necessarily better or worse than those of a less popular ute.

    Ultimately, buy what you like. It’s your money, your choice.

    The internet is full of people with too much time and too many opinions—don’t let them make your decisions for you.

    Well said Dale, and don't be afraid of new technology in a few years it will be old anyway

    Just curious. Does the aftermarket towbar come with the module for the wiring.
    I know the boy was unimpressed with being stung for the module when they fitted the Toy towbar.
