Thread: new 70 series

wont share the photos of the one im working on at he moment.......but lets just say rolling them over gives your insurer the shits.....

$140 000

Jaysus!

$140K + 7.9% interest.

Thats going to be a hard sell...

I bought from iLam Toyota in the past, they were OK and not this greedy.

But this is too much, not sure if they breach any consumer law by doing so.
At least now, I know which Toyota dealer to avoid.

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.

If you read that ad closely.. that’s $140k for a ‘used’ one, at that.

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

Bough a dmax in manual a year back. Didn't want a slush box

I think the $140k includes the interest.

Had a suzuki escudo fuck that thing took us on some adventures. Didnt like doing a submarine impersonation and killed it. Wasnt worth fixing so now got a rav 4. Nowhere near the off road capability of the zuk but keen to try it once things dry out and wouldnt take it some of the places the zuk went better on the road tho..

drove around my fair share of safari's, Landcruisers and landrovers in my old Zook.....it's Achilles heel was also it's strongest atribute (lack of weight) it was great as it didn't sink in the boggy stuff but it also floated in the deep stuff....came very close to not making it across the Rangitata that trip as it started floating in the deeper bit just before the bank

now - we all want a land cruiser -come on admit it- the ultimate NZ hunting wagon - but auto - the only reason I can think of to get an auto and spoil a good 4x4 is if you want to crawl along behind ones beloved daisys in the race leading up to the cow shed - I will allow that -other than that you are a Dauklander stuck in traffic all day and ya never ever stick it in 4x4

Not even!
I have driven heaps of cruiser and patrols.
Great machines till you get in the mud and then next to useless, just to heavy!
If you really want to offend a person from the land calling them a dorklander will do it!

Come on. With an auto its easier to steer and hold a beer at the same time.
