$125,000 for a very low km demonstrator that is not technically “new”. WTF? Didn’t even have a tray! The list price on these is about $90k for the LX D/C so how they are adding an extra $35,000 is beyond me.

Can anyone shed any light on what’s going on? Is this insane mark up on the “Toyota Driveaway Price” actually what they think they can get away with, like what happened with the last of the Land Rover Defenders?

yes agree they overpriced to hell but so are the jeeps and no where near the quality- but I am struggling why- why some one would want one in automatic -to me utterly defeats why one would have a real 4x4

I use my manual hilux every day of road and would go to the auto in a heartbeat.
Things have changed alot.
We bought one of the first outlander with the cvt transmission.
I took it of road a few times in the mud.
Pretty impressive even with road tyres.

Yeah. I dont know what the real 4wd guys say but I think the auto puts the power through more smoothly. The truck's computer is a far bigger brain than my mine so Im happy to leave it to it.

I have been within a whisker on getting this recently but the clean fuel tax killed it. Pushed it outside what I was prepared to pay to trade up. https://www.toyota.co.nz/new-car/hil...DTG-NM1-040-25
