Thread: Replacing the Hilux what to get ?

The other small issue I have is it has to have a flat deck...... well sides suck........

I can swap the decks over on the Hilux again effectively saving 3-3.5K.

I really wanted to get the VW last time but it was going to cost me around 10k more than the Hilux.....Yeah Nah....thanks all the same.....

I will have a look/drive in some of the others, I might even get an Auto

Still have my King Tony tool kit from last one, unopened even

"Still have my King Tony tool kit from last one, unopened even " buy a ranger and you might get to use it

King Tony sockets sets are best left unopened, they last longer that way.
Have a customer with a Ranger fitted with an alloy flat deck, real nice and practical
Buy what your happy with, I was sold on the 5 cylinder engine, it's superb. Get an Auto, all new utes have a very hi first gear and it's a bastard starting with a load on, up hill and you don't want to be pissing round with the rest of the gearbox to get going. Last Colorado was my first ever auto, I'd never go back to manual.

Thanks have done 65000k in this 4wd & 75000k in the 2wd before it.

Kept telling Toyota first is two high, 5th is to low & it should have 6.......guess I'm a bit spoilt with the Monaro....
