Halfhound 415 Posted Sunday at 20:25 Report Share Posted Sunday at 20:25 I’ve two hiluxs one for hunting and one for general work towing horse box or whatever one is 2003 and has been bomb proof will go anywhere and isn’t too bad to tow I had some work done on the chassis but €1000 spent on a chassis after 20 years of having to do next to nothing on the engine is a good deal in my book. Other one is 2024 plate and it’s a nice motor but you can tell it just hasn’t the same guts as the older one 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Depends on your budget ? a lot of the land cruisers and hilux's now are rotten! the new ones are crap!! BUT, you can easily import an older one thats as good as new from Japan. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And, You obviously haven't owned any! by saying they haven't changed much in 20 years..... is ludicrous!!!! New ones are now made in Thailand. Rot far quicker too. Engines have changed.

There's no land cruisers made in Thailand.. and I've welded enough of them up to know they don't rot any quicker than usual.. they just don't have as much under body protection put on .. buy one and underseal/waxoil it and it'll last 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had fourtrak, rav4 2.2s, x trail and now on an old terrano . All good buses in their own right the fourtrak me favour of all but finding a good one like gold dust 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
