Hi all.
Just thought I'll join up as I'm looking at buying a Hilux (2010 onwards)
I would like to get a SR5 but missus is putting handbrake on it as they are not cheap although resale is great. Her sister drives a 2003 SR5 which she brought nearly new and it's around 210,000km now and not a thing as gone wrong apart from the electric antenna grinding its gears when going up or down. That's been like that for years!
I'll be using the lux a lot of towing, around a ton in weight so I guess a diesel would be the best bet.
Been looking at other utes as well, not keen or Navara due to clutch issues, dont like Triton, Holden look good but how long would it last, Falcon ok but same issues. Mazda expensive to service (I have a Mazda 3 now) etc.
Anyhow I could go on but thanks for welcoming me and I'll let you know what I do end up buying.
Cheers
