Exactly, you don't see any self respecting African warlord running around with a machinegun on the back of a sheep shagger do you.

It's because the warlord doesn't want to give it up to his "henchmen with the guns" . It's probably his "drive vehicle " .

They usually keep the Mercedes stolen from Spain for personal transport

We're only getting 2 engine choices. A 2.8 turbo diesel and a 2.7 petrol.
Diesel will have all the latest euro emission crap attached to meet the latest world emission laws. But it is supposed to output more grunt than the currant Hilux.
And Toyota have finally woken up and used a trans with more than 4 gears from the 80's.

"Hi" is a greeting and "lux is an abbreviation/slang for Electrolux, an old vacuum cleaner so....... hilux means " hello old vacuum cleaner"?
Which logically would indicate that they suck.

Small high output diesels have been around a long time already in Europe. very reliable.
capacity has no bearing on reliability at all, if you new diesel shits itself 90 percent it will be a electronic fault.

i call bullshit
will be fuel or mantainance or the gay washers that you have to do every 150ks no wait its 100k or is it 80k
no its 40k

Fueling is electronic

Yes but they already have the " Toyota Modification" for that injector prob so solved that one already!

proof of the pudding will be in the eating.

The ones that stop on the side of the road are the lucky ones - although it normally only happens out of cellphone coverage in somewhere unpronounceable in the pissing rain, never on the highway next to a mechanic to reset the computer...

The new Ranger looks like a Toyota SUV, the new Toyota looks like a previous model Ford ute, the new Colorado looks like a reject from a mad max film and everything else just sucks.

When are we going to get a decent ute in this country that doesn't need to be modified to do a plain and simple honest days work on the farm or the remote site - we are getting lumped with these pussy pretty boy towny cars with big boots and they are sod all use to man or beast. And, too sodding expensive.

I hate paying for something that can't tow a heavy trailer off the line without slipping the clutch, can't back up a driveway loaded without grounding the towbar, wallows like a bag of cow shit when up at full axle weight and is mostly comprised of bits of plastic that fall off in a stiff breeze.

You can't lift kit the new generation utes (IFS) without running into issues with the roll bar fouling something or a top bush set falling to bits or the arse end complaining (don't mention CV's), the factory suspension plain sucks for heavy work and if you mod anything with the suspension to actually do the job the ute is specced to do, the computer and 'safety driving aids' go on holiday.

Anyone listening, NZ vehicle resellers????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????

BRING BACK THE TREKKER!
