Thread: New hilux

You took it to a Ford Dealer then?

I had one of the v6 petrols. You need to seriously choose your tyres. With standard tyres that they come with they are dangerous in the wet. With 4x4 tyres they are a coffin.

The tundra doesnt seem to be a coffin.

I'm sure they new ranger is 20k could be wrong

Speaking of service costs, I have a bill from our local Toyota dealer for servicing two hilux's.
The first hilux is a 2003 sr5 3.0l diesel done 180 000km and the cost of service was $461.20 which included replacing front brake pads.

The second hilux is a 2009 sr5 3.0l diesel that has done 90000 km and the cost of that service was $1073.01, which included a wheel alignment and the lousy injector seats/seal replacement.
So all up cost $1534.21 for two hilux's to be serviced!

Which is part of the reason why the hiluxes major selling point resale is going to slowly vanish. They will be worth the same or less than any other brand in 10 years or so.

Just looked through some of my service costs, full service and new clutch $1,003.00, Fix faulty drivers window $38.04, service and warrant on Hiace $252.43, Service and warrant on hilux @140k $437.17. I'm pretty happy with these costs and the service provided. Much better than when I take the boat for a service.

Now where talking
Toyota Other Tundra 2010 | Trade Me

I have been up in Washington state recently cruising around in a Tundra and F150's doing 75mph down the freeways, which wetted the appetite for big v8 utes.
It was certainly disappointing to jump into the hilux upon return to nz and drive at 80 kph on a single lane highway.

I see Ford have their new Ranger out here on show already........


Toyota slipped up, again, and we'll have to wait, again.

Go to the Toyota tent at Field Days and you can...... get a photo standing next to a cardboard cut out of 2 bloody possums.
Fail!

No point having it there if you only have the old shit ones to sell

and that's the big thing- they have heaps of the old model to "move on" first..

That front end looks terrible like its squinting

I've always thought the lights looked a bit weird on the 2011> model too.
