I'll hang onto it until there's enough spare cash for a Outlaw. When you look at the figures the Navara comes back with a slightly better MPG, it also has a bit more grunt and the newer Outlaw looks the business compared to the others, it has a real pitbullish look about it.....

Other options might be a LWB Shogun with the fold-up seats in the back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanB 0 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 One thing about buying a toyota deerman, you will be buying a bombproof motor, total reliability, them along with honda have a superb record for doing the business, day in day out regardless....Also if you look at depreciation, I know thats not a factor in a vehicles choice, but you will get less of it with a hilux, than other makes....go for it...
