Thread: When did the Hilux lose it's cool

they seemed to go a different (read soft) direction with the Hilux moving it from a great off roader that was acceptable to drive on road .. to a city ute.

If I was in the market with money to spend , I'd be getting a double cab Landcruiser .. the proper ones that come with no back deck (you get to chose) ... or one of the others .. the ford ranger seems popular.

Anything but the new Hilux .... My cousin had one to tow his boat and said the traction control on it was stupid to the point where it was so dangerous he couldnt tow the boat with it !!!

The old corollas were rock solid .. a club I was involved with got left one by an old lady as a hack ... It was an awesome vehicle and its still going strong ... I parked it on the street once and there was a constant flow of little shitheads coming to the front door with their caps on backwards and their pants halfway down round their ankles coming to the door wanting to buy it .....
