Thread: Modern Hilux, what to look for

What price can the farmlands card get a hilux for?
Ford also offer bigger discounts for farmlands card holders.

Ford is no longer a partner with farmlands. Thats why toyota has taken their place.

Depends on model but about 20% less than RRP

So as you say walk away but, I'm sure there's some Toyota dealer in the south would go out of his way to get you what you want?

If comfort, ride quality, finish and gadgets are a priority do you really need/want a ute?

Maybe an suv like a Mazda CX9, Ford Territory etc might be the ticket?

Agreed EXCEPT that would mean the dogs are in the vehicle, along with all THEIR drool, hair and farts. We would prefer to avoid that

Yep, I get that. Do any of the brands offer a barrier between boot and cabin as an OEM option? If not, I’m sure old mate VC could whip something up.

I recently changed to an SUV and forgot how nice it was not driving a Ute so I’m probably too biased to comment. But it strikes me that the only reason you want a Ute is to separate the dogs and are prepared to sacrifice everything else you want from your vehicle. Maybe I’m too selfish but fuck that!

I have done dogs in SUVs and cars....yes it can be done but it is shit, your car permanently stinks of wet dog/dog that rolled in month old dead sheep, wet carpet, mud and scratches and hair bloody everywere.
Utes are where its at for dog ownership.

Yip
and I totally understand that, it's exactly the reasonI went to a Hilux and not another suv
stinkin wet labs and Wirehair require their own space.

Have you considered a dog box on the back? I had one for years until I got my ute (a 2000 hilux)
