Any one got one ?
I thought I'd finally made my mind up to get one, but then got put off again.
The Hilux pickup is renowned - virtually indestructable by topgears accout ! A great diesel engine, that will easily convert to veggie oil.
I don't really need a pickup, so I figured the "Estate car" version would do nicely.
But chatting to a recovery driver the other day, he had to recover a Rav 4, that had got stuck in a field with 1 wheel in a 1 inch puddle ! and it wouldn't go anywhere - no diff locks -, The recovery driver refused to take his truck in, so the Rav owner phoned his mate with a hilux surf. You guessed it the hilux got stuck too. Recovery driver says that they are utter rubbish off road ? Is it true ? or is he just another biased LR owner ?
Its a shame if they are, as i figured its probably far more reliable, comfortable and economical than a land rover would be....
Cheers
