    My company supplies my Hilux SR5 and I'm due for a new one next year! Am I going to say no, not bloody likely!!
    Looks OK for Sporting Clays and maybe if I ever get another jet boat.

    Why would it be any different than the 2012 I have? Only issue has been a crook tail tight and had to have breaks skimmed, and yes it gets used Off road. Just like a rental.

    I think it's called looking a gift horse in the mouth (which I'm sure you're not). I've been lucky enough to be supplied with late model utes of every description for the best part of 20 years. I wouldn't dare bitch about a free ride regardless of the name on the side. Funny thing is I've never had a Hilux other than the one I bought myself. I just like stirring up fanboys regardless.

    My new ones even better. I couldn't think of a worse affliction than being both a Blaser and a Hilux apologist.

    I wonder if the new 2.8L will have a mysterious plastic washer in it too?

    Arguing over which 4wd ute is better is a waste of time . We all know that a v8 70series shape ,new lancruiser would be the shit for hunting , but we buy Utes . A -because we like to drive it like a car on road at least 120 ks even corners , B- because we are too tight or too poor to spend 78 k .

    i think your actually a closet triton fan.

    On a still not very serious note I had a look at the new triton yesterday. First time Iv thought a new model was an overall improvement, though that could say more about the last one than the new. Power/torque 135kw/437nm are up, 25% more torque at 1500rpm, kept the great tuning circle and even made an attempt to increase exit angle. Kept the 10 year drivetrain warranty,defiantly looks better and will probly still be the cheapest
