cjm Member 24 Member For: 20y 7m 14d Posted 17/07/06 09:23 AM Share Posted 17/07/06 09:23 AM Does anyone have any experiences (both good or bad) with the Hilux utes? I still have my beloved XR6T but need a ute that I don't have to worry about. Any thoughts? I've ordered a V6 4 litre SR c/chas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 10m 18d Posted 17/07/06 09:30 AM Share Posted 17/07/06 09:30 AM well they are well specd, comfy and a easy drive, if the amount I get in at work is an indication as to how good they are your on a winner, though the petrol motors do tend to be a bit thirsty, would have went a turbo diesel if I were you, they are a fairly good motor comparitive to say a rodeo or a nivara. They are way smoother unit. Though the v6 isnt without its charms, sh*ts all over the rodeo alloytech(torqueless wonder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a really nice piece of kit also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
