   You don't see a whole lot of modern utes at 4wd club nights though more coming as earlier trucks disappear. But preference is still 1990s to 2000 trucks. Less electronics, much less to go wrong in...

   An interesting thing that I had happen on the 3RZ hilux was the vacuum sensing hose falling off half way through a short drive. That wasn't ideal to be honest, I thought I had killed it - it started...

    Bill's point above also good to ponder. If you're on a budget - and who isn't - 4wding can be expensive with maintenance. Might cost 3-6k to mod a standard diesel truck depending on where you choose...

    Consider Pajero (avoid GDI model if looking at petrol), Prado, Bighorn/Trooper, Terrano Something with a manual or auto box, not CVT. Suzuki is low slung but can have some height added. You'll...
