I think in today's age you will find it gutless, my first cruser was a 80 Series auto 12v non turbo and thought it was pretty good but I think if you drove a turbo 24v you wouldn't even look at it.

Are you a hair dresser?
I'd take my 2007 hilux over the cruiser. I had the 1HZ cruiser and was great for pulling heavy load, but slow on the get up and go dept.
The manual hilux can do both and has been good all rounder so far, just clocking over 107k now.
The 1HZ is a great motor, non turboed makes it reliable and given it's a flat 6 it sounds and performs better than a non turboed 3b. The 3b always sounded to me like someone was rattling some rocks in a can. The 1hz sounds like the gruny 6 cyl it is.
Why is 24 volt better?
A Bod I worked with had a manual S80,(turbo) must have had low ratio diffs coz mine (auto)(turbo) at 100kmh the rev counter sez just over 2000, his manual one said just under 3000!!! Anyone know about this variation?
What my 1HDT 80 series cost me over 4 years I could have bought a brand new hilux :XD:
