Looks like they have done a nice job with it. Reading through the program it looks loaded with some nice electronics. Anyone can translate the schedule?

Looks like the SR5 will come kitted out with lots more extras to differentiate it from the lower models - headlights for example.
Here's hoping they keep the live axle for the lower spec models (ie for work utes), although from a manufacturing perspective that might not be very cost effective

From my understanding the live axle stays but will be available in coil and leaf applications on the mid to higher range of the hilux.

I did hear that they were looking at a constant 4wd application for this new shape like the Volkswagen, could just be hear say though

Hideous! Looks like a hilux had angry sex with a new kluger! Slowly turning more and more into a bloody car not a 4x4! Looks like I'll just keep pouring money into my old truck to keep it on the road till I die.
